Auto Gearbox Kapoot?

[nsta]

Hey guys, whilst driving along the motorway today i noticed my car riding in "d" gear, it got worst and worst and before i knew it, i could barely go up to 30km....the revs would just fly up, and fly straight down, as if in neutral.....what does this mean, it feels as though it jams up in 3rd and doesnt want to go into 4th???

BTW 1st and 2nd are running fine, 2nd gear was wat i used to get bak home, as i revved higher but it was moving unlike "d".

Have you checked your transmission fluid levels?

[nsta]

yeah it just needs a slight fill, could that be the cause?

[nsta]

hey i just checked the fluid levels, they were alright, but the oil looked like water!!, i done a full oil change just now, and the issue is still happening, also reset my ecu.....

[wildr33gtst]

same thing happened to mine, i needed a new transmission. it would never let me go into fourth then i lost 3rd. their pretty cheap anyway.

[nsta]

yup 4th went a fewdays b4 .... and 3rds prettymuch gone......!!!, so its the transmission???, how much is it for a 25t auto???,or should i just go manual

[Fly_With_Sky]

the auto's for a r33 are generally pretty cheap. They usually are sold for around the $300 mark i think. Manual conversion would be a lot more expensive (about $3000 so cheaper to sell auto skyline and buy a manual one).

If you want something in between those two figures maybe re-build the auto with stronger internals and a new valvebody etc.

just courious, how many RWKWs could the stock GTST AUTO box take before it breaks?

Around 250rwkw (or a turbo upgrade) and you'll be wanting to strengthen the box with a bigger transmission cooler.

i just done a auto conversion on my r33 and cost 4500, gone are the days of the 3000 conversion. i am selling my auto to luket01 at the moment for a spare. i can get hold of him and see if he still wants it?

the box is at xspeed and will require picking up from there if he does'nt want it .

sorry probly to far away, in w.a

cheers, well before any of this happened, i was going to fix up my car a little and sell it, so im really looking for the cheapest alternative, which would be to buy a 25t auto box (~300) and replace, correct?how much would labour cost for such a job?

also im going to have around 200rwkw, will the stock auto box handle this sort of power easy?

[nsta]

im about to replace the whole gearbox with a 2nd hand one, 500 all up inc labour, though i've been told that i'll need 7L of atf fluid???, i only filled 4L after draining mine, the guy said that its ~4L for the Transmission, and around 2-3L fluid needed for the torque converter???

everyone i heard says around 4L is right

He is right, you'll need at least 7l if the trans an convertor have been drained. Just out of curiosity, did it just go all of a sudden etc, and is it making any nasty noises in any of the other gears?

[nsta]

umm, how do you drain the converter, i just used the drain plug on the bottom of the sump, i dont know if that drains the converter or not though???

[OZ_Pomy]

is there any differences between the r32 auto box and the r33 series 1 box i was told they are the same

anybody know?
