Hey guys,

I have a 2003 V35 5AT and recently developed an annoying problem.

When driving in 'Auto' mode, there are harsh 'thud' everytime the auto trans gear changes. If I put the pedal to the floor, I have a little bit of wheel spin that I can feel. When I try to put it to 'Manual' mode, the screen in the dash still remains as 'D' rather than the gear number it would be in if using Manual mode.

Note. The problem first started when I washed my car 'Airred out'. I have air suspension installed. The problem went away the next day and didn't reoccur until yesterday (after a weekend of semi hard driving in the mountains) when the rain started pouring down and I 'airred out' on the wet floor. Not sure if this is relevant, but I've been trying to figure out the circumstances that have occured prior to this issue. The problem on my G35 is still ongoing (as with the wet weather). Despite the hard driving over the weekend, the problem didn't immidiately reoccur. It's taken it several days for it to come back so I've ruled out my driving style as the problem that would cause my 5at issue.

Thoughts guys? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Code for the box was 'overtemp' so I suggested a cooler for the auto.

There were two other codes more pressing, abs wheel sensor and engine knock sensor, which we are planning to look at further. I suspect the wheel sensor might be causing extra load on the gearbox, which may have caused the overheat, but the sensor will have to be swapped before that is confirmed.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
