Had hoped my first posting would would be to introduce myself and my new pride and joy 1997 VR4 however I too have a gear box problem!
Took delivery of my fresh import on Saturday, drove from Andover to Bristol. Had bad vibration at 70 mph. Continuing home the automatic gearbox got whiney and on arriving home she was smelling and dropping a lot of gearbox oil - to the point she is now empty.
She has full Japanese servce history and has had the turbos replaced (on mechanical experts advice) by the dealers.
I have contacted the dealers (Sentinel Cars in Andover) they have offered to recover her and have Millway Vehicle Specialists (their usual garage) assess her and if main dealer attention required send her to Mill Lane main dealers. Does anyone have any experience of these two places?
I would really welcome your advice of what I should be ensuring happens to avoid any future problems - I don't want to have to let my Legnum go
