So drove down the southern highlands from sydney today. On the way home near heathcote, car suddenly feels like its losing power and I get a TCM error.

Pull over and restarted the car cool down and tried restarting but still had the error. Had my Cobb on me but for some strange reason, after plugging in, it just loads the AccessPort screen.

Anyways, realised the car only had 1,3 and 5 gear and was in limp mode (I think) as it feels the car limited my speed to under 40 km/h.

Will be taking it to the workshop on Monday (out of warranty and cobbed so doubt Nissan will like that) but from reading, I suspect it could be a solenoid or sensor. Though it obviously could be something more serious =(

If you have had the issue before, could you shoot me a PM please =)

Thanks

if it was something major the car wouldn't be driveable

most likely pressure sensor or solenoid

either way nissan dealer wont attempt to trouble shoot beyond ecu codes, their suggested and only fix will be a replacement trans - dealers aren't mechanics

best put the car on a truck and send it to willall

Most probably pressure sensor fail...same problem I had.

Dont bother will Nissan...if your car is modded they will diagnose then charge you to say they cant help.

If you want to transport your car to Willal in Adelaide by someone who cares about your car let me know

They managed to pull the codes using their AP but I didnt ask them what they were as I was flat out today. I'll ask them tomorrow but they mentioned they got the usual plus one they haven't gotten before.

They also cleared the codes and it drove fine again for a bit. Then they went from 5th to 6th and the the transmission oil pressure shot up to double and the the t/m malfunction and limp mode came back on. I'm assuming this is pressure sensor or related.

In any case, the gearbox is coming out tomorrow to get fixed.

P2832 - Shift Fork 'A' Position Circuit Range/Performance

Solution for the aftermarket appears to be the TSB Clip (assuming your car is 2011+).

Taken from 'Jacks Transmissions': ( http://www.jackstransmissions.com/pages/gtr-gr6-clip-tsb )

The shift pistons in the valve body make contact with the forks and move them into position. If these pistons wear, the forks and sliders will no longer shift properly and can be damaged. This is a common problem with the GR6. Prevention is to perform this TSB.

We have never encountered these problems again after performing this TSB so it has become standard procedure to install clips in every unit we touch.

APPLIED VEHICLE:2009 – 2011 GT-R (R35)

For 2009 - The MIL is on and DTC P0729 (6GR Incorrect Ratio) is stored,
For 2010 - The MIL is on and DTC P0729 (Sleeve A1 Function) is stored,
For 2011 - The MIL is on and DTC P2832 (Shift Fork A) is stored,


Here is a picture below of the wear. Note the circled area. It doesn't look like much, but that is enough to cause thousands of dollars in damage:

The clips will allow for better contact with the piston and prevent the wear or failure.

There are a series of magnets inside the piston which will become out of range of the sensor if the assembly wears too far. This will prevent the system from recognizing where the piston is moving and the unit will shift the fork too far as it doesn't know the forks location. This is what will break the fork along with the slider. This simple TSB solves any issue you could ever encounter with the fork or sliders. Well worth performing while you have your pan out and this TSB can be completed while the trans is in the vehicle.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
