hi all, i got mate and we were driving along the freeway just cruising, and his auto gearbox all of a sudden went spastic, went CRUNCH and car start losing speed, we went onto emergency, pulled over, checked for leaks, nothing, went to take off, it feels like its chugging, and wont go over say 30kmph, wtf is it?

sounds like something has let go when was its last service and how is the car driven eg burnouts heavy load from a stand still ect ect

not sure about last service, and its kinda obv something has let go, im just wondering what, hes paying me to fix it aswell so yeah, and last service im not sure about but judging by his sticker on windscreen it says hes gotta have it done in another 8thousand kms

right so its had regular servicing , id recommend ya probably go buy a ebay special than rebuild it

probably a band let go possibly alot more damage because of it , i wouldn't trust it if only the band is replaced


either full rebuild or a replacement and yet again how is the car driven ?

auto you say it sounds like the gearbox spat its bearings

best off going for a new or reco gearbox

sorry didnt read properly, it isnt driven hard every day, its done in total probably 3 burnouts, (stand stills and not till tyres popped either) and occasional fun in the wet but not manged hard, is it expensive fix??

rebuilds can be and so can recode boxes i suggested ebay as i have bought 2 boxes of there to fit to other cars and the owners of the cars they went into have never had an issue yet

just another thought dose it make any noises at all since the issue (the gearbox)

clunks, but not loud, i was thinking maybe its the torque convertor?? s#$T itself?

possibly or the bolts have come out wich could explain why it moves but wont over a certain speed id check the converter before anything else the vn/vps have a habit of loosening converter bolts and cracking flywheels
