well somehow it got out and ill be damned if im gonna be called those names.

i wasnt the reciever i had to make it clear

[DamageInc]

finally got my gearbox and engine together woot !!

[RubyRS4]

Damn ...

Stagea is stuck in 3rd gear. A/T light flashes at me and stag drives in 3rd gear (since lunchtime today). Had a service and shift kit installed by MV Auto 10,000kms ago ... whole car only 61,000kms old. Anyone got any ideas? I've already hit up the Stag section for an answer.

Registered the silver Stag today, so I guess thats a sign to take the black stag off the road for a while.

[Damo_R34]

In the gf's barina there is a button that, once pressed, will take off in 3rd gear in slippery conditions. Maybe you hit a button or something?

[AndrewJZX100]

*waits for a comment about the mesh

[nugzy31]

maybe the speed created by the downforce of the JDM MESH caused some to dislodge and wrap around you transmission dooflickey

Too much torque?

i think it is related to the blue mesh....too much downforce, power, torque almost too much everything really with that BLUE MESH

i think since the blue mesh has given you too much power etc your transmission cannot handle it anymore.....time for more blue mesh and a better trans maybe.....

on another note check if your ecu hasnt gone into limp mode.....if using aftermarket ECU maybe check the data and see if there is something unusual in there....goodluck with it all ruby

No aftermarket ecu. Stock ecu does appear to be in limp mode. I've browsed the Stagea and Transmission threads and have a few options (although none are definite solutions). I'm going to start with the easiest solution and work my way up to the harder (expensive) solution, by checking the trans fluid level first. I doubt its the solenoids (and hope they're not) as the car is only 61,000kms old and MV serviced the box less than 10,000kms ago ... plus the shift solenoids are expensive!

If all else fails, I guess I'm doing that manual conversion sooner than I thought. I'll also check the Mv invoice for the warranty period and have them dianose the box problem. I'll drive the silver stag around in the meantime.
