_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 car you push the car forward in park? neutral? is there the same resistance? selector cable may be damaged. If it moves in nuetral when pushed but not park then the cable will be fine. I would then look at the fluid level Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would then look at the fluid level it moves in neautral but not park. and fluid level is fine. i dont know what else it could possibly be except for a wiring problem maybe??

_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 isnt usually any wiring unless its the sport box with S E and Snow. yep as glenn said, thats about the only realistic thing left Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 iirc its the input on the gearbox, but if it does out to be that is probably not worth fixing and just getting a new gearbox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jono51 59 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 the main problems with these boxes is lack of service, in response to original post the best you can do for yourself is remove the pan, replace the filter and have a fluid flush done, it might only be a blocked filter, any other advice will be to complex cheers Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm buy a Full Manual conversion Kit From Jono51 Hi Mike, yours appears to be a different fault, common of the 4hp22 one thing that can cause this is a good bootful on the accelerator whilst in neutral or park, repairable, but labour, parts etc and not as satisfying as a manual conversion hear from you soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I know who was at fault lol. My Ex-partner and I were arguing about something, then she put the gear into Park while I was doing about 60km. Not so good. I just sent you and email Jon.
