Re-Attached the speedo sensor now the car is stuck in 2nd gear. Any suggestings ????
I will be taking the car down to the transmission place tomorrow - Checked fault codes telling me 19 (A new code) any last minute things I could try to get the car to move out of 2nd gear. I don't understand how the car can drive fine one day I wash it and then it is wrecked.
Tried shifting manually? I lost first cos a shift solenoid went but could shift manually and would select first gear fine.
It comes in the way of a transmission shop........ Specialist according to their card.
Firstly BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has answered my stupid questions over the past couple of days when the world shut down for a long weekend.
As it would turn out the fella that sold me the car has thrashed the car so badly that the transmission had just failed as quickly as it took me to painfully detail the car. Apparently the only thing that was left in the transmission worth salvaging was the nice clean new filter we put in. (Again thanks to you all here) I also wow'ed the mechanics with my unreal understanding of reading Holden codes (thanks to my trusty paper clip and just commodores)
The tranmission was in safe mode as the ECU had picked up a fault in the transmission of complete failure (although there is interestingly no code for that) but the engine shuts the transmission down to protect it. As perfectly put by the mechanic as he leaned on my car and said you bought a lemon and you got skrewed although it isn't a bad car all up. So my little brain fart for the weekend to get this car has turned into a 2250 for the car, 1500 for the transmission and other faults and the look on everyone's face when I was told by a professional I had been taken by a 21 year con artist that assured me it was a new transmission out of a box!!!! PRICELESS![]()
