Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox dead can anyone help?

« on: 05 November 2007, 10:38:49 »

Thanks ever so much for your help, and was very impressed how calm you were when we realised that the AR35 didn't work and it had to come out again  
You are lucky TheBoy apparently the AR35 was earmarked for you?!
So, anybody got a spare gearbox?

That would be perfect as you're not too far away really. If you could PM me any details I'd need I'll take you up on your offer!
Many thanks,
Andy

That would be great if you could help me, there's a cheap one on Ebay at the moment but it's 230 miles away... If anyone knows of a cheap one closer???! If you could PM me some dates I'd be more than grateful, thanks again.

Yep that could be it, I said it goes into first but thinking about it, it could well be like there's no gear at all - I tend not to push it much when it's like that! So if this thrust washer is fixable, is ther anyone who could help me?! By the way, they read the gearbox codes again to make sure and an error code did come up second time - P0730 Incorrect Gear Ratio...

Ok, if I'm accelerating to 30 then take my foot off the accelerator, after I've slowed down a bit I then put my foot back on and the car has put itself back into 1st again. If I hold the acceleration when it's like this it will eventually show a warning light and go into limp mode. When it's like this, the only way I've found to get out of it is to stick it in sport mode, it will then change up with a thump after a few seconds. It used to do this once every couple of weeks or so, but now does it at least once on every journey. Seems worse when cold and I don't seem to have problems at higher speeds. It's not happy!

Almost got James to look at my car before but for whatever reason never happened - If anyone could help for some cash it would be much appreciated!

Having lots of problems with my gearbox so took it to a specialist who said there were no error codes but drove it around and encountered the same problems as me. To get a reconditioned box in there would cost me £1600   Or they would fit one if I supplied for around £300 Looks like I may have to get rid of the car although I won't be able to sell with the box in the state it's in. What would others do in this situation? Find another gearbox and hope it's ok and spend £300 fitting?

Mine's just started doing pretty much the same thing! Don't really understand how to check the multirams though...

Haven't really got it in me to do it myself - VX want £380 to do it  
So may have to go trade and find someone else to fit it. It seems talking to someone at an exhaust place that the main pattern suppliers don't make them for Omegas after 1999 which I find odd?

This is getting annoying! - not even kwik fit can do an exhaust for me! They'll only quote for cars up to 1999 on 2.5 V6 will my car have the same exhaust as a 2.6?!
