hey all,
VT Commo 5L Auto, done about 100,000k's.....went for a trip to local holden earlier today to get a coolant sensor for a mates car...and to have a peek at the new VE up close anyway, goto take off up the road not hard or anything and it stuck in first ?? Checked I didnt do something stupid like lock it into first but nothing so pulled over and took off again and seemed ok. Shifted 1st to 2nd to 3rd then hit a bit of a hill and it shifted down by itself and just revved its nuts off
So yeah its holding gears esp 1st and when it does it a downshift under accel from 3rd to 2nd it just neutrals. Fluid is all good and clean as a whistle, stopped by repco joint on way home as I know a guy there and hooked her up to the computer and no fault codes and nothing in the history either. He took it for a quick burn and said it seemed like a solenoid but couldnt be sure.
I see in search other people have had similar issue with solenoids but most are no fluid twits. Anyone got any suggestions of what it might be and how much $$$
Cheers
