Trans Slipping

[StageIan]

Picked up a set of Drift seats from RoadsterGarage on the weekend.....Cheers Adam. Was very excited bout my new purchase. It didnt last long, as soon as I reversed out of the driveway I noticed a slight shudder. (Thought that was strange), selected Drive and put my foot down.

Yeah, lets just say that at the revs shown on the tacho I should have been doing 40kms.......not so. Limped home and checked fluid level, all good. Now gotta find someone reputable in Sydney to get it diagnosed.

my m35 gearbox crunched under full boost when you take foot of pedal. Now put my foot down and engine takes off but transmission has to catch up. Good thing I have dealership 5 year warrenty. Taking to to slacks creek on thursday to get fixed. Hopefully its something simple

bit of a worry....lucky you have warranty!

[StageIan]

Lucky youve got warranty, mines going to the doctor for diagnosis. Hope its not too bad and all I need is the valves upgraded.

[Run-It-Hard]

That's no good Ian! I hope you get it sorted without much fuss.

[StageIan]

Yeah, found out today that A & B solenoids not working. Might order me one of those upgrade kits & svc kits from MV.

[StageIan]

OK so I rang the trans place close to mee in Seven HIlls, got the car booked for Wednesday. Was told that when they replace the solenoids A & B he will do another diagnosis to see if the computer is ok.

Will keep you posted on progress & cost, so far approx $450 mark.

just a trivial point, if the box is slipping then to do it properly it would be a good idea to get teh TC looked at/swapped over as well. it would have a fair bit of trash in it from the slip.

mention that to the trans guy.

Will do, but what is TC? Trans cooler?

[Chris Rogers]

Torque Convertor. even though you do a oil change on it you are still only doing HALF the oil. the rest of it (with trash in it) is still in the TC. I had this issue with a JATCO 4spd in a Subaru. did the oil change / sol's and it shit itself 6 weeks later leaving me with a $4.5k bill. the best way to look at an auto box is with an extreme eye on caution. if its giving you grief and carrying on in a weird manor rebuild it or find another box.

[StageIan]

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I'll mention it to the shop

[StageIan]

Ok, so my stag is going to the trans doctor tomorrow. Solenoids will be replaced & diagnosis done again to check if computer is ok. Fingers crossed....

Yeah yeah, if I had a spare couple of G I would. So much I wanna achieve with the car now but lack of funds.

Anyways...... got the car back on Sat morning & it drives well. Only had to replace the solenoids, they checked it over & all else seemed to be fine.
