Manual Conversion

[pwiince]

hey guys

Im new to this forum, so apologies in advance if i posted this in the wrong section.

ive got a r34 gt auto/triptonic gearbox.

when i start to drive my car takes off in third then goes to neutral.

first, second and fourth are gone.

reverse is fine.

sometimes it works fine but as soon as i break and come to a complete stop the same thing happens again.

im really considering of doing a manual conversion.

but if anyone knows what wrongs with it, i wana fix it then sell it and get a manual one.

if its cheaper that way.

probably cheaper to either get the gearbox fixed (depending on what the problem is), or replace it with another auto box. manual conversion may be cheaper than fixing it if it is stuffed, but will be more expensive than a second hand auto.

as for diagnosing the problem, best of taking it to an auto transmission workshop.

You be better off just selling the rooted box man, no one wants autos.

Shift solenoid?

Seems like a pretty common tiptronic problem.
