Hi guys,

Just had new wheels on and this happens!

This morning I had to limp home with 2,4 and 6 gears only.

Checked the Cobb which said error code trans PO847.

Disappointed.

Anyone with any experience? Do I need a trans rebuild now?

Thanks.

Hey Max,

I had this code twice, clutch pressure sensor B. located in the clutch mechatronic. It could also be piston seals in the clutch assy. Unfortunately the gearbox would have to come out. I used a second hand sensor first but that did not last long. Now I got the new WillAll sensors and seals that seem to work great. I fitted the sensors myself without a hoist. Not an easy task though.....

Pree, you got some pics of the replacement process?

Simple fix - sensor shit itself, probably, only issue is that tranny needs to be dropped to access it. Hope it get's fixed quickly. Shouldn't cost too much though.

It is only a simple fix if the pressure sensors have been previously remotely mounted....if not then it is transmission out and split it to gain access to the pressure sensors.

Hey Max, it took me one Saturday to jack, remove trans, split the box, install sensors and tsb clips. I waited till Sunday to connect the wiring as I wanted/needed high temperature heat shrink to insulate the wiring. Rejoined box feeding the remote sensors through the little gap. So now all three sensors sit in the pan. Thanks WillAll. Refitted everything by Sunday afternoon. Mind you this was done on jack stands. I needed a transmission jack which I hired. Not long but I enjoyed working on the car. I'm trying to add pictures from my iPhone, don't know how to do it yet. I need more time to investigate.

Cheers...

Thanks for the write-up Pree. That's bloody awesome - you could do that!

I don't have the hands-on know-how.

I'll be trucking my car to Martin at Willall.

Will let you know how it goes! Might convert to E85 too, while I'm there.

Could be what I had this year a broken seal.

The sensors are on the rear side of this assembly.

And another one on the valve body:

Yeah, getting Martin to checkout my tranny and clutch while it's opened up, after replacing the sensors, seals and wear-&-tear parts.

It actually had 2 codes: P0847 and P2715.

Doing injectors and pumps too while my baby is there. Will see what E85 power tastes like!

Just got my car back from Martin. He replaced the 3 sensors, gear stops, fasteners and clips. He also had to fabricate a new selector shaft. E85 tune is in (with ID1000 & DW65c) and the car drives like a frikkin beast out of hell!!! Love the meaty midrange pull - so smooth and aggressive. Haven't really had a chance to go WOT to the redline yet on normal roads. Need a strip or the track. Gear changes are now very responsive and smoother change. Martin also had to swap my 3rd gear synchro with the Reverse gear one, as the 3rd synchro was quite worn. Will post more on E85 power when I get more seat time. Dyno showed a massive gain on my previous 98ron renew tune. Plus an amazing 1072Nm of torque at 4650rpm! Overall - very worthwhile mod. Now I gotta re-calibrate my senses to all that power.

Torque figures gets skewed due to the gearing (diff, trans, etc). That's why auto cars that are roller/chassis dyno'ed have high torque figures. The most accurate way to measure the torque is the stick the engine on an engine dyno ;).

Power figure is fine. But I like to worry about the area under the curve than the peak value. Like you said, the way it drives is the most important factor in any mod (unless you're going for dyno numbers only). You can see that jump around 80 km/h mark = good good :D.

But it's pretty cool to say that you car puts down over a thousand Netwon meters of torque hahahahaha.

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
