It's in "limp" mode so you probably don't need a new box. When was the ATF last changed and what fluid was used.

6months ago and I used amsoil oil , ive checked oil level and looks fine... :(

Your video shows your N is flashing at what looks like 1 sec intervals which means a crap input shaft sensor or output shaft sensor or A/T control relay. As a quick fix you might try disconnecting the battery for 20 mins and letting it relearn but I reckon it's a sensor. Try pulling the codes that should tell you.

Im newbie can you tell me how to get codes out and if ill need sensor where to get it cheers

[John TheAntique]

No disrespect but do a bit of searching there are plenty of posts on this and I suspect there is something in the articles section.

you asked for advice in another thread, why not post in that one what you have done following that advice?

:happy:

[John TheAntique]

Oh I didn't know that, thanks Tim. A bit of a waste of my time then.

sorry about that , guys I mixed my both threads, what I did we cleaned all sensor and refill gearbox oil , car still wont go above second gear , spoke with automatic gearbox specialist and advised me to find new gearbox...
still looking for new gearbox , anyone got one for sale? :>

I found one for legnum , will it fit mine saloon vr4 ??

[John TheAntique]

I've yet to meet a "gearbox specialist" who understands or knows anything about our boxes! I still recon it's a sensor but if you have found one cheap why not.

[zinqzinq]

Is that sensor ?

[John TheAntique]

That's one of them yes. I hope someone here can say how to test it before you spend that much. Maybe someone here has got one to spare. Try a WTB post.

[zinqzinq]

Ive spoke with "gearbox specialist " he told me that sensor is operating fine had been checked on computer, no faults with that also he told me there was lots of silverbits in oil , still lookin for sensor ?

[TAR]

have you considered doing a manual conversion?
