recomend wreckers transmission and do an auto filter service on the wreckers trans
just make sure it less kms than yours

a wreckers trans for these in brisbane can be as little as 200 bucks + fitment +oil and filter service
food for thought maybe?

Couple of days ago my VS was doing the same thing, over revving, not slipping into gear. We were on our way to Sydney airport, 9kms away, others cars starting honking at us. We were at traffic lights, as we started to move smoke pissed out everywhere. We pulled over, opened the bonnet and flames over the inside of the bonnet. Hubby pulled his jumper off to put out the flames and we tried to see what had happened. Way too dark so we managed to drive her to a servo a about 50 metres up the road. She wouldn't go above 20kms and now has no reverse either, just revs but nothing. Had it towed back here to Wollongong and now trying to work out how much damage done. Guessing new transmission needed. The dipstick pops out everytime you try to change gears as well. There is burning around the leads and also on the engine block just below the oil fill. Any ideas on places to get decent priced recon gearbox in our area and other things we should check. Going to need to replace several wires as they melted in the fire, including the wiper tubing. Thanks. Luci.

Sound like you need to replace your transmission
