FTO AUSTRALIA

Howdy i have a fto 95 and my n light stay on solid when i put it into drive and it doesent go into gear just sits their. Pleaaaaase have u any idears

one of the cables has snapped/come loose? Otherwise, I would have expected flashing error codes (could be wrong though)

Time for a manual conversion

So the car can shift between p-r-n but not d?

Yes it changes into r n and p but put it into drive and the d lights up as well as the n and doesnt go into gear it stays in neutral

What is the condition of the gearbox fluid?
Is it a cherry sweet smelling fluid?
Or is it dark and burnt?

It was really low when a checked it after this happened this arvo so i filled it up again but it made no difference. It wouldnt have hurt it being very low i haven't been driving it at all for long time.

Or could i have stuffed it by starting it p.s if the bonnet is up and u get someone to change the gears is it supposed to make a weird winding noise

Winding noise?
You able to take a video?

Fingers crossed it's a faulty cable connection and not a 2k transmission rebuild as a mechanic once quoted me.

If that were the case then you'd do a manual conversion wouldn't you? Any excuse will do!

I did something like that along the way, that was cursed to. Twice cursed and back for more

If anyone ever has an auto trans issue I always recommend a manual conversion, problem solved

And usually cheaper to fix it that way too

I'll post a video tomorrow. You cant hear the sound unless the bonnet is up and your leaning over the engine. It has never done this before or had any indication of going thats what is so frustrating cause my other fto transmition is screwing up as well it wont go into gear has like a 2 second lag when u change and if your foot is on the pedal when u change revs up to like 6000 then changes just like if your cruiseing in a manul your foot is on the acelerator and u put your other foot on the clutch its revs go crazy same thing

That second one sounds like it could just use a transmission fluid change.

Yeh i tryed that twice when it first started happening no change a mechanic said sounds like a "forward drive clutch" what ever that is all i no is their bluddy expensive :'( someone on this site said could be a speed sensor but i dont no where the little bugger is

How would i check if a cable has snapped or come looae????

You wouldnt rebuild your transmission - too expensive. Ive got 3 tip boxes in the shed. $250 and one of them is yours (if you end up needing one)

"forward drive clutch" is more commonly know as a torque converter. And that certainly sounds like whats busted..
