I have just taken my car to get some more work done to the exhaust

droped the car off in good working order

they did do some welding on the car with one of those spike preventers on the battery

went to pick the car up and got told it would not go into gear

i took it for a drive and got 100m up the street when a ABS light and 4WD light came on the dash

the A/T light did come on for a bit but went out again

we put the car on the hoist and had a look the transfer case was red hot like it had been slipping

I think they have spiked the ATTESA computer causing a fault where there is no direct drive to any wheels? maybe

it is in a auto workshop at the moment so fingers crossed its not to bad

any advise on what could be wrong would be a great help

ecu reset, just pull the negative lead off the battery - depress the brake pedal a few times to drain any residual power - leave it a few minutes then reconnect the battery lead.

if it still throws codes, then you will have to start chasing the problem.

i'd be trying to think of a cause and effect scenario - so, the fact that they were under the car working on the exhaust - i'd be thinking of things under the car - like maybe they've knocked a plug loose in the side of the trans?

Which trans shop was it at? Sounds trans related to me for sure.

A descent trans shop will pick up what's going on.

Insist they get it flat beded to mike at mv automatics in blackwood as hes got all the necessary diag. stuff for these cars, while ur at it get him to do a shift kit ;-)

after a trip to trans shop and auto sparkys which was all goo

the problem seemed to be that when they had it on the 2 post hoist apparently the LHR axle had fallen out of the diff

i do find this hard to believe but have order the circlip and seal for the axle and booked it in to get the diff looked at

Didnt see this before, knocking WA. You can talk dick licker. SA is the city of churches and pedophiles. Usefull comments would be more helpful dont you think. Oh thats right you dont read or think so scrap that idea. BTW some ppl like their autos and im using a GTS4 box -not building a track car here. :P

Big Jim take it to someone reputable, i can suggest a handfull and dont let some halfwitt fck with your car. Even better DIY. :blush:

hey mate, i'm pretty sure this wasn't an attack on the OP, more like sexual tension between Kidafa and chef. don't worry about.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
