Does your overdrive button work at all? Mine stop working, It was in overdrive all the time and now and then the button would work and could take it out of overdrive... Yeah it what we thinking what it was doing... Playing with the button now, You can see the pin with the plate going for over the place when you push the button in and out.

I know with mine, the faster you went, the wrost it got. It sould like you got the same stutter as me...

What happens when it starts to stutter and you take it out of overdrive and then put in back in? With mine when the overdrive button worked, It would stop for a while and then would start away.

Would take the overbutton out and see how the pin moving around when you push it in and out and also take it apart and clean it, Clean mine few times and it did work of abit. Also take the gear lever out and check to the wines for the overdrive to see if they are not broken ect

I know mine off trademe. they are hard to find... But try trademe and the nissan place in chch...

Yeah the OD button seems to work ok. If I'm cruising and it starts to stutter, I can back off throttle, punch throttle or turn off OD and it will stop. But if I stop if by turning off OD, it will usually start stuttering again (while not in OD) within a minute. That's whats the transmission guy thought was strange - it stutters out of OD.

I'll check out the OD connection once I have the radiator back in (pump and belt change in progress).

So does it stutter in 3rd gear? My old gear box does a stutter in 3rd gear before we swap the gears over.

We going pull down the old gearbox in next few weeks and see if what we can find and we going to send the old torque converter to be cut open and see what going on with it.

I'm sure it the torque converter/gearbox/overdrive.

Ill let you know what we find.

Have you sign up to SDU?

If by 3rd gear you mean Drive without OD then yeah it does.

Keen to know what you find out about your old box - sounds similar to mine.

Haven't joined SDU - didn't seem to be much (any) technical/mechanical info there...

Hey hutchwilco, How are you geting on with your Stagea? Found the problem yet?

I sold my Stagea few months back :(

I've only just got it back into one piece - did cambelt, (water pump (was leaking)) etc then found the rear shocks had leaked out, and brakes were skewee so only bout to start it up again in months. I found while I was doing the cambelt that the exhaust cam was one notch -7.5 deg - retarded, dunno if that could cause some kind of stutter but we'll see.

I see a transmission on tardme for 80 so I might buy that as insurance. Should know by next week if the stutter is still there.

yep cheers, will have to test both those theories. I bought a consult kit for nothing on trademe, so will set that up to watch what the solenoids doing.

Thing is it stutters when not in OD. guess that could still be a rogue activating solenoid.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
