VT auto gearbox, will not shift into gear, like in neutral
Ok bit of a weird problem today, was driving then hear what sounded like a loud valvetrain noise. So I puled over and checked the rockers because I thought one of them may have broke but they looked good. Started the car up again and it sounded fine. So I decided to drive home but I put it in D and it just rolled backwards. Tried 1st 2nd 3rd D reverese it all acts like its in neutral. Just reves but doesn't go anyway. If I put it in park it engages the park break so its not shifter or driveshaft/diff etc. The tranny is filled up with oil and I'm not getting any fault codes. Any ideas?
I'd be looking for good second hand auto if it was my car. Yours sounds dead. Where are you located? By the way, I'm an old bloke, wtf is asdf? PM me if the forum will frown on the description.
Oh lol that's just me smashing keys on the keyboard with my left hand cos I'm too lazy to fill that out. I'm in east side. But park still works, so the entire tranny might not be dead.
no, park only engages a little metal tab in the (sunshell?) to stop the car from moving. Its probably safe to assume that your trans is entirely dead. Maybe the pump is gone, maybe the valvebody is dead. Ring a trans specialist and they will most likely reccomend you a replacement trans. prepare $1200+
that sucks
Yeah not gonna blow that on this car lol, I'm thinking maybe a second hand one. Last time I changed a tranny I did it when I was changing the engine so pulled it out with the hoist. Is it difficult to do a swap without pulling the motor out just slide it under the car?
Could it be anything simplier? Like a broken wire or anything like that that I could check before ripping the gearbox out?
.. get a specialist to do a simple diagnosis. Where the hell is ASDF by the way?
then if the trans guy says that its cooked, then yeah trans out is easy if you have a pit and the right tools. remove tailshaft disconnect everything unbolt from motor and its out.
No movement in any gear: pump failure, or total loss of fluid. Remove and replace, or refill pan and find the leak. If out of fluid, avoid running the engine until the trans is refilled to avoid pump damage. To check for pump failure, check fluid level with the engine off, then start the engine and recheck fluid level. If level does not go down when engine is running, the pump is broken.
Checked the fluid levels and they are the same. So I decided to remove the tranny, took out the tailshaft, and while it was out I decided to fire it up and of course, the output shaft starts spinning when in gear and it registered on the speedo as throttle increases. However there is still a ticking noise coming from the front of the transmission should I still replace it?
