no gears ... here's a new one....

Post by smorison »

ok,
so assume we've already spent 4 days trying to work out whats wrong... 4spd tip

full callibration of TPS has been completed and cleared engine codes.
No further transmission error codes.
all grounds have been checked
new fuild and filter on car (before the box gave up)

bedding in the brakes... foot hard on the brake... go to move off again and no gears! ... NONE... no forward and no reverse...

anyone got any ideas????

i found one similar incident on the uk forums and waiting to hear back from the guy as to how they fixed it...

yay... there goes the race track this weekend :(

mate that happened to me. Bascially no forward or reverse gears you couldnt even feel the car going into gears, bascially like the gear selector is not connected.

Torque convertor ripped to streds!
