V35 Gearbox Problems

[tranforma]

hey guys

i got a v35 that has a 8 speed cvvt triptronic gearbox.

After scraping my car on curbs at maccas, the transmission oil started to leak and then my car decided not to change into gear when i drive. it works some times and then when i stop and go, it will stay on 1st gear. By then i would do a u turn and go home then WALLA it works!

i got the oil problem fix and spent around 3k doing it, then after 1 week it happened again and its been 3 days and i havent drove it.

i warm it up for 15 mins to see if it made a difference.. no result

now that dude wants to charge me 3k to open up the gear box and have a good look, the thing is... g35s are new in Australia and he admitted to himself that he knows nothing about the car....

i cant find any gear boxes like mine and was thinking can i just put in a normal auto gear box? i doubt it tho..

PLEASE GUYS HELP ME

go to C-RED, Jash has one himself Anthony and it's auto as well...

honestly, you shouldn't have gone to a guy that has no idea about the gearbox and 3k could've been better spent elsewhere as you know but yeah damage is done, try the bigger workshops that would've worked on these cars before ie. XSpeed and even try ASG... C-Red is where i'd try first...

good luck!

As far as I know....

You cannot source parts for these or the 5 speed autos....I know - I had one...

If you have problems the auto the cheapest route I found was to buy a low k's box and throw the other one away...

good luck..
