hey.. my overdrive in my almera is sticking.. it doesnt want to come on so the car is only on a high rpm.. its like stuck on 3rd gear... all the other gears goes in fine.. anyone knows any tranny specialists?
RECENTLY CHANGED IT.. LIKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS NOW.. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND IT JUST WENT.. IT WAS RIGHT AFTER AN ENGINE WASH.. I WENT MOVIE TOWNE IN THE NIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE WASH AND THE PROLEM FIRST OCCURED.. THEN IT WENT AWAY.. AND NOW 9 OMNTHS LATER IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN
thanx.. i will call james in the morn.. and i friggin hope that the tranny really eh gone nah dred.. i doubt it though cause all the other gears working like normal... but if so.. you know how much it might cost for a gearbox?
yea kindda... always had a little slipping problem.. but only when i now start the car on a morning and i mash out for the first time.. the second gear would kindda slip.. and yea.. the other gears a taking like a little little longer to go in.. like a split second long since it is happening...
As soon as you said 'engine wash'. If it is a mechanical problem, it wouldn't give trouble one time and then work perfectly at other times - that sounds like and electrical short somewhere.
I am having a similar problem with my tranny in that the gears are somewhat "slamming" in and taking long to go in. Checked my mechanic and he said it could be the "Sensor/Solenoid" that is going bad .....
