Hi guys,
I've got a vr v6 auto ute that needs a new gearbox as far as i'm concerned but i'm just curious if anyone can shed any light on what's caused it to fail.
the gearbox works fine cold but as it heats up the changes get a little longer until the box starts only working with two gears then possibly one. i wasn't really taking notice by that point. it also loses reverse but once it cools down it all works fine again.
I gave it some from the lights after about five to ten minutes driving and it responded really well under heavy acceleration while cold. The computer picked up no faults in the twenty minutes or so i drove it for although the gearbox clearly wasn't having a good time.
Any thoughts? I hate not knowing why it's stuffed.
Fluid looks beautiful and levels fine
