Auto Gearbox Replacement

[daily-project]

Looking for someone to help me out on buying a gearbox for my 98' stagea. It has HICAS steering and is awd. Live in sydney if that helps.

HICAS had nothing to do with it.

What help do you need? What are you trying to do?

I get 16 a/t flashes on my dash upon starting the car up. It drives ok for about couple mins or after i hit 60kms around a/t light stays on and car goes limp. Cant rev past 2800rpm unless in actually driving and ill be going about 80kms at 3000rpm. Makes me feel sick driving the car like this. Apparently the solinoid rack inside the auto trans is gone. Im currently looking for a replacement gearbox for it. Its auto by the way. Would u know what if any other gearboxs fit in it?

Being awd makes it harder to get another box to fit straight in. You can change the extension housing and put the transfer case on rwd transmissions I am told, but I wouldn't bother.

An auto stagea box shouldn't be hard to find. Keep in mind that series 1 and 2 boxes are different and not interchangeable.

It could just need a service, the filter could be blocked or something equally as simple to fix. Why give up without dropping the pan and replacing some fluid at least.

Do you have the actual code? It should point you in the right direction at least. Even if a solenoid is gone, it isn't hard to swap a valve body over, much easier than dropping a box...

Yeah, does no-one ever take their car to a proper auto trans specialist when it stops working these days? I'm f**king astonished at the amount of "3 seconds of asking questions on forum followed by buy another 2nd hand" style maintenance work that is getting done these days.
