A/t Light Problems! Help!

[R34CT]

Sorry guys maby this post has been posted before, but i used the search tool and i kept geting a NOT FOUND page... so sorry again if this problem has already been talked about.

Well i living in melbourne vic, in epping, i was on edgars road bridge when i came to a stop my A/T light came on, now i duno why but i had a dream about my trans blowing the night before so when i saw it i nearly had a heart attack lol, neway once the light was on i could accelerate but i had to put the peddel all the way down and i would only move about 5- 10 kmph which got me onto the naturestrip outa traffics way... now i remember seeing someware on the forum people restarting the engin and the light dissapearing.. so i did that and the light then turned off... it was like the car was stuck in 4th gear, is this problem common in the R34 Gt. ? coz if so im gona rip that shit ass tranny out.. its startin to shit me lol? any tips or advice would be greatly appriciated.. ta.

Yes you're stuck in 3rd gear, your solenoids have shit themselves. There is a current thread in the drivetrain section about it.

yep, spot on buddy ! tranny goes into limp mode which is lock in 3rd gear. most common problem is shifting solenoids. can restart engine but when she will go again is anyones guess.... 2morro, next week, month etc.

i got mine changed recently, shift solenoid A and B, pressure valve thingo, oil, service ,cleared on diagnostic etc. $680. heard ppl get it done it cheaper and more. access is from the bottom, no need to pull tranny out.
