RB25DET gearbox problems?

[Mazinger]

hi all,

i posted this about 12 hours ago, but i got an error when i did so, any mod care to check that?

anyway here goes, my mate got a RB25DET powered R32 skyline, its an auto and he has a serious (or not very serious) problem with the gearbox.

see when the box selects second gear it has a habit of sticking in it . ie: it wont shift to first or third while the engine is runnig, have to turn the engine off, select first gear, then turn on again.

can anyone explain why is this happening, even though he changed the tranny oil filter and the oil too.

i searched for info on this topic but no gain.

thanks for your inputs

ps: i'll just copy this just in case the thread dosent go again, better to be safe than sorry.

i had the same problems before my tranny blew

the band is dying and cluttering up the valves with debris

the debris falls away when fluid stops flowing so when you restart all is ok

2 options

cange it to manual $3-5k

rebuild the auto $1.5-4k

either way mine lasted about 1 month before it gave up totaly

hope this isnt same fault i had mate
