BJ · Post by BJ » Wed Jan 25, 2006 5:15 pm

Hey Everyone, I Just Did A Diagnosis Test & It Said That The Throttle Sensor Wasn't Workin, So I Got That Replaced & They Checked, Reseted The Error Codes, So The Guy Said Everything Is OK...But After A Week, I Was Driving Back Home Just Last Night & Suddenly My Transmission Starting Playing Up...Again, Lighted Up On "3" & "N" Is Flashing...Again. So I Have A Have A Few Questions Again Sorry:
1. Is It Possible To Fix?!? If So, Is It Best To Fix?!? If So, How Much?!?!
2. Does This Also Mean That I Have To Replace The Transmission? If So How Much Will It Cost?!?!?
3. If I Need To Replace It, Where Can I Find A Second Hand Transmission?!?! If At Wreakers, Where Can I Find The Wreakers Place Cause I Live Around Bundoora & Don't Know Where To Start Looking?
4. How Much Do You Think It Will Cost If It's Second Hand?!?!?
5. Where's A Good Descent Cheap Place Transmission Specialist That Can Help Me With My Problem?!?!?
Thanks Again For Reading & Your Help...I Apprieciate It A Lot Cause This Kind Of Thing Never Happen To Me....Thanks Again! Take Care

Its gone into limp mode - it does that to protect itself. Get it to a mechanic & get the box pulled out. Chances are you blown the torque converter or speed sensors ... I doubt you have mangled gears as such

I found out that as long as I write not in Bold, it protects the transmission and keep it out of any problems.

However, in your circumstances, I would stop using the car and check the error codes first.
If you use the search function, you can find info about how to retreive the error coder from the ecu easily.
Sounds like the transmisson may need to be rebuilt or one of the sensor is gone.

And leave the poor mechanic alone, your transmission was stuffed before he was in it I think.

Fixed

& i can see BJ was trying to use font 18 as well

I've got an eye sight problem, therefore i can't read every single start of the word in capital. Any mod would like to modify that too??

When was the last time you had your transmission service BJ??

Sorry to say this but its been a year or so...yeh i know...but i just haven't had the time or money to fix every single part of my car cause a couple of months ago, a friend of mine (well x-friend) did a mjor service on my car which cost me about the $1500 mark & it took him months to do a major service on my car & since i got the car back, he didn't do half the stuff i wanted, he didnt put a pop-filter in, didnt fix my timing belt etc...so i ask half my money back but he didnt give it back! that Mother f$#ker! Do not get your import fixed with a guy name ryan (filipino) who lives in roxburge park! now i just have no money plus i just fixed my water pump & timing belt, cost me $600. now this happens...im in so much bad luck.

BJ sounds like he coulda put the wrong type of transmission oil in aswell... i hear that if you dont use genuine it can stuff your box up too.

Could be a lot of things;

Speed sensors - there's 2
Torque converter
Solinoids inside the box could be gone
Bad oil
Clogged/cracked oil feeder

To be honest, fixing your current box is not a good idea......this will not be a cheap thing to fix either.

I know 'cos I've been through it.....twice.

i just recently had a reco auto put in my fto. The problem arose from a stereo place drillin through my input output speed sensor so the car didnt know how fast or slow it was going and kept slaming into 3rd with N flshing. They paid for the wire to be replaced but a month later the tranny went. 3 grand later i have a new tranny and am very tentitive of who i let touch the damn thing , seems every mod or major srvice sh#t goes wrong is isnt done properly. The auto is under warrnty lets see how long there workmanship lasts........

The place to start is the error codes. Once you have them you can narrow things down. I dont think its the torque convertor as it wont give you an error code, it will allow you to change gears but wont transmit drive.
