as you aint a million miles away, if you need a solenoid ive got two u/s boxes here, solenoids should be o,k though

Thanks alf. Would you be able to help me out with the job?

i should think so, its just the small matter of what solenoid does what cos there are a few in there, perhaps someone could give me the wire colours on what solenoids

I thought you knew them back to front, inside out, outside in and all other permutations. You`ve played with `em enough times

[unlucky alf]

oh yes i know how to change complete boxes unfortunately, never delved past the oil pump though, but the solenoids aint to bad to get out, they are just held in by roll pins if i recall correctly.
Tonkapaj p,m me if you need help & arrange a day.

[Tonka.]

well i had 3 busted ones but some thieving git knicked one while i was on holiday, it still had the selector switch on it otherwise i wouldnt have been so peed off
anyhow let me know if you need anything & i`ll strip down one of the others.

They will nick anything. Even an AR25.
How will I know what I need alf? Could do with help here TBH 

When did you last change crank sensor?

I have never changes the crank sensor. What is the relevance?

[Tonka.]

Phone rang so missed the last few posts. 

Thanks for the offer alf. I will find out what my shifts are on Monday (new job and all that) and let you know what days I am able to cover myself in ATF 

Thanks all of you, was ready to have the car crushed this afternoon

Could a faulty crank sensor throw a gearbox fault? Seems a long shot  :-/

well i can bring a whole set of solenoids over, sump gaskets might be an idea unless you fancy using instant gasket, then its down to what tools you have in your toolbox as well as axle stands,not forgetting the dexron3 atf, anyhow let me know when youve got time & hopefully i can make it.

I am okay for tools etc alf. Changed one of these buggers already. The full set of solenoids would be brilliant. I shall source more ATF, a filter and gaskets. Get the thing sorted once and for all

That is a personal view on this type of fault when gearbox hangs and then goes limp mode. Just a theory that incorrect engine speed detected by gearbox forces limp mode.

Just been out into town, in traffic cues and typical urban traffic.
The car behaved perfectly.............

But it did not get as hot as yesterday. I think I may change the ATF tomorrow and see how it goes.

How do I give it a good flushing? ?

[Tonka.]

Well, that didn't work........

Clunking again around second and third.

Lost all drive twice today. First gear fine, second gear fine. Then third gear and the car just revs with no drive.

Into neutral and back into drive and all is well again.

My question is. Can this be cured? Would appriciate all input (alf )

[sassanach]

i thought you were changing the 2-3 solenoid?

[Tonka.]

i thought you were changing the 2-3 solenoid?

Yes, I am going to. Just waiting for unluckyalf to reply. I'm sure he will 

When I dropped the oil on Sunday, it was black. Only been in a year. So I will consider Sundays oil change a flush
