The pushbutton isn't in adjustment. D seems to be Low, and H is what Drive should be. Some buttons don't move to others, etc. Going to have to learn how to adjust the actuator.

I drive almost exclusively in H right now. It seems to kick from low to high to torque converter lockup really fast. If I get on the throttle then it'll spend some time in all three, but normal throttle is bit of low, then like 1 second of high, then straight to direct drive. Engine chugs at low speed when in direct drive. I don't have a reference for how it is supposed to be, so I'm assuming that's not quite normal.


Time to go back to the factory settings for the actuator and the throttle linkage.
See the service manual section 7, pages 118 and 52 respectively.
And retest.

On your wheel bearing concern, I found this in SC 30 #8.

If this proves too loose still, tighten 1/6 turn to undo the step of "back off one hex". (SC 30 #3)
