hi all,

i posted this about 12 hours ago, but i got an error when i did so, any mod care to check that?

anyway here goes, my mate got a RB25DET powered R32 skyline, its an auto and he has a serious (or not very serious) problem with the gearbox.

see when the box selects second gear it has a habit of sticking in it . ie: it wont shift to first or third while the engine is runnig, have to turn the engine off, select first gear, then turn on again.

can anyone explain why is this happening, even though he changed the tranny oil filter and the oil too.

i searched for info on this topic but no gain.

thanks for your inputs :P

ps: i'll just copy this just in case the thread dosent go again, better to be safe than sorry.

i had the same problems before my tranny blew

the band is dying and cluttering up the valves with debris

the debris falls away when fluid stops flowing so when you restart all is ok

2 options

cange it to manual $3-5k

rebuild the auto $1.5-4k

either way mine lasted about 1 month before it gave up totaly

hope this isnt same fault i had mate

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
