auto Transmission Problems VR

[LuvMy93VR]

Guys, Ive had a spot of bother with my Auto trans on my 93 VR V6.

a 'friend' revved the shit out of it on his lawn (ex-bloody friend) and about a week after that
- I seemed to lose first gear- take off was really slow. And the engine light came on and stayed on.
I havent pulled the codes yet but i will tomorrow- i have been crook lately.

now it is making clunking noises intermittently and when i go over bumps. And althought i can select thru the gears- only 2nd and third behave anything close to normal- first is useless.
auto trans fluid level is fine.

Ill pull codes tomorrow- but does anyone have any advice as to what may have happened and what i might have to do to remedy this?

Any advice- much appreciated- thanks.

hey mate having same simmilar problems with my 93 VR
seams when driving round after gearbox heats up it wont change back gears not onli did a service not fix it but the auto trans center when they went to pull the codes got no reading as if the computer wasnt saving the code...
they mentioned something about it going into limp mode or some shit and the onli thing sujested so far was full rebuild but its expensive...
ive been told to have them replace all the solinoids and c if that fixes the problem so thats the next thing im gonnna do be4 i run outta ideas and have the bastard rebuilt
if you get ne codes when you try pulling them plz send me a pm with the results as id be interested in knowing for my own problems...
cheers

Your car has gone into Limp Home Mode (LHM) and from your description it sounds like there is major damage done to the box. Codes may or may not indicate the exact problem depending on what has failed unfortunately.

if ur mate jumped on it and hit the rev limiter he has probably shit the trans pump... these boxes do it heaps..

get the trans pump checked..

Hey V!ney rather then fork out for a full rebuild, check if you can get a good second hand one first, might save you a few dollers if your not planning on keeping the car forever.
