    Default automatic blown!!!

    alright i screwed it!
    i was reversing out and been at a party allll night n was like 2 in the morning and was tooo damn lazy and impatient to let the mungrel stop as i reversed out and then put it in gear to early and went to go...
    and me usually driving it reasonably hard seems to have contributed to me farking the thing!!!

    i believe its gear box as drive line aint spinning!! its constantly in nutral!! loll.

    any help? is there any problem's with vl auto's that seem to been regular??
    i need this fixed so i can sell and hopefully buy this vl turbo!!! but dad wont let me buy turbo with his money until mine is sell able!! ooh gawd...

    yeh well!! any re-occuring faults with vl auto's??

    Sounds like the planetary gear set, no autos dont like going backwards and trying to go forwards at the same time.. Quickest way to kill any auto..
    I was confused now I'm just not so sure!!

    another auto is your best bet as the other would have alot of metal bits all through the box now!!!
    I'll send pic if I can find 1 ok.

    could be. im jsut gunna send it into the local mobil servo. my dad works for mobil and told them he will give them a heap of synthetic oil for near to nothing and some other things so it only cost the price of the items been replaced.

    umm just a lil extra info on it, it seems really easy to change gear now =\
