hey guys,

i've come up with a fix that looks so far to be working, but as my last 2 attempts have been wrong i'd like to get other people to do what ive done as its not a fix untill i know it fixes the problem :laugh:

so who ever has an auto with this problem and is willing to try something to fix it can you post up on here so we can try and get some solid results.

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
