As you might remember, from this thread http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10138
nearly 4 and a half months later,,,,,,
thanks to this so called specialist auto box repair place in leicester, My car is still not running.
Here are the problems we have found.
Internal ATF filter,,, it was absolutely soooo dirty so fluid couldnt flaw
Broken aluminium casing circlip grooveing...
This is the circlip whic holds the main piston wave spring, spring plate and it normaly sits on the inner centre of the casing.
I have found a company to re engineer the casing new deeper grooving done and for the reason had to find a fatter wider circlip. yep I have found a firm in switserland to do one of for me so thats done. And the metal plate whic holds the wavyspring needed replacing, I have found the engineering company to make me exact copy so thats done, overhaul kit etc etc. After hours of struggling with this workshop and all the hassle I had with them . They have put the gearbox all together and installed on tho the car.
Now this is the new problem I have, test drive results are follows:
In auto mode
Engage 1st OK
driving engaging to 2nd ??? it goes in to 2nd but in the same second it kinda a goes in to 2nd again so its finding it strange to go in to 2nd but when it engages its ok
Engaging 3rd ok
engaging 4th ok
engaging 5th ok
Going the opposite,,
5th to 4th ok
4th to 3rd ok
3rd to 2nd ok
2nd to 1st ok
Reverse OK
Its only 1st to 2nd gets a bit confusing.Its like going in to 2nd twice in a row
Its the same in tip mode
I am absolutely so end of my tether. and I am planing to take this firm to court and take every possible legal action towards them.
Any advice any info any help much needed.
Regards
