    Default VR V6 Slams Into Gear

    Hi guys im new to the place so i will introduce my self quickly, My names Miikey im from Mt Druit and i drive a Silver VT Berlina and a Gold HSV VR V6, both are pretty much standard altho the VT Has 20's on it,

    anyway, in my VR im having a problem with the gearbox or motor, not 2 sure which 1 it would be but i can start the car and drive it for awhile then the gearbox/motor light comes on on the dash and then the gears slam into gear, i have changed the gearbox and changed the ECU but it still happens,
    any feed back would be greatly appreciated because its a beautiful car and i want it 2 perform at its best

    Thankx in advance
    Miikey

    Probably a silly question to ask but sillier things have happened, Does it have a shift kit? Does it kick into gear when your giving it some or just randomly

    As delco said check your error codes, if you don't know how check this link out. Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)

    Code 13 - Oxygen Sensor (O2) - No Signal

    The sensor is on the header just before the cat. Take the negative lead off your battery before fooling around with it.



    I dont see how this would be related to your specific problem though
