mine gets stuck in first

i usually just release the gas and the gear changes

Wow seriously? Did you see what went wrong? How about the 2nd, 3rd gears? If i can get the gear to shift only when i release the gas, i can start thinking of fitting a PFC on my car! :(

Clutch-less automatic system!

what i meant was the gear getting stuck completely, it wont change into 2nd at all sometimes, and when in 2nd it drops into 1st and gets stuck again.

what i did was clean all of the looms that are around the engine fuse box.. ill get a pic of what im talking about asap.

Hi I also have problems but mine sticks in third and wont change into overdrive but not everytime worse in day heat ,

also,unless i fiddle with the at/snow setting.

it also changes down too even when i am at 100klms on freeway,and again the at/snow switch will help the change if not i have too change between drive and nutral till it does. but if all that fails i kick the side panel where the comp is and that makes it change eventually.

It has also recently started too loose all drive aswell like it goes into neutral and i have too go between drive and neutral too get it too re engage.

i have noticed if it changes smoothly from 1st too 2nd all goes well, but if it changes with a neck jerk grab too 2nd i know i will be having trouble.

But if the weather is cold i dont seem too have too many probs,

Anyboby got any ideas on what too do please.

kates rb20det auto kicked down from 4th on the freeway today and is refusing to go into 4th or reverse now.... 1st 2nd and 3rd appear to be working fine.. hoping desparately to find an electrical problem with it tonight, but more realistically looking for a replacement box now... :mellow:

i have an r32 5 speed automatic which did the same thing, wouldnt change out of first gear and wold rev to to redline, on some occasions it would change without lifting my foot off the accelerator and it would sometimes skip 2nd gear and go straight from 1st to 3rd. I took it to a transmission place and he said my auto gearbox needed rebuilding and it was the clutch bands or something. that was gonna cost $3000

i noticed that with my ignition on when i pressed the accelerator past 1/4 of the way a buzzing noise was coming from the automatic gearbox which i suspect is a sticking shift soleniod, therefor the sticking solenoid was prevent it from shifting when accelerating past 1/4 of the way and so backing off the accelerator stopped the buzzing shift solenoid and allowed to shift gears.

These were just my observations, i was told by the transmission guy that my gearbox wouldnt last an extra month, it lasted 6 months without fail. i finnally ended up changing it to manual

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
