R33 automatic won’t go into 3rd help!!!

So my R33 won’t go into 4th gear it’ll reach 3rd and if I try going past 80ks it’ll start to smell like burning gearbox help!!

It's dying. Take it to a trans workshop.

I mean, you could check the fluid level first.

Is this happening everytime you drive the car.   Or intermittently?

mine wasn't going into overdrive (4th) but was able to turn car off back on, then it would be fine. 

After that, i had changed filter and put fresh fluid in.  seemed to be okay after that, however one hot day it did it once. 

From what i have read,  it can be low fluid level, solenoids, speed sensor can throw it (from memory) or yeah the gearbox could be on its way out.

Hadn't taken mine to a trans shop as for them to test, it would be hard as it probably won't do it when its there.

Could definitely be caused by blocked filter, needs a service.
