Hey,

Got a major issue. My car will drive fine in 1st and 2nd, but once it gets to 3rd all it does is REV, it won't actually drive the car.... It is like its in neutral

I know its a bit hard to say, but what could it be? has it happened to anyone else? what could cause it?

Before you ask, yes there is trans fluid in there and its not low.

Could it be clutchpack? valve body?

Pls help :D

hi,

i had a similar problem with my mates car.. have you tried changing the transmission fluid?

I just ran the diagnostics and got 1 long flash and 10 short flashes

the "The Sky is the limit" pdf document states this means:

- Line pressure solenoid shorted or disconnected

Could this be the reason for the problem?

How do I fix this?

The Reason Why The Engine Is Free Reving Is It Sounds Like The 3-4 Clutch Pack Is Burnt Out. Common Problem. What Needs To Happen Is That The Transmission Needs To Come Out Of The Vehicle And Either Be Repaired Or Rebuilt. There Is No Easy Fix For This Problem. What Happens Is The Line Pressure Solenoid Fails And Drops The Line (Clutch) Pressure Which Burns The 3-4 Clutch Out. Probably Get Shitty Into Second As Well.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
