Hey guys I just bought a new car and the stagea must have known and got her feelings hurt?. Gearbox has gone into limp mode, ran the diagnostic and says that a soleniode is not working. So what I am looking for is a cheap way to fix the problem before I sell it. Or if someone wants to buy it with the problem I am willing to let it go real cheap. Like I said I have already bought he new car and delivery is at the end of this month so just want to get rid of it.

Probably best way is to swap out a known good box from someone who has done a manual conversion. I took mine to the scrap dealer but you would probably pay in the range of $1 to $200 for one. Or you could try an oil change and hope that might do it.

Thanks I will try to locate another box.

All you need is the valve body, no need to swap the box... I have an auto here also.

Send it to MV and get a shift kit fitted before you swap it over. ;)

Not real savy on autos, is the soleniode part of the valve body? Like I mentioned I have already purchased a new car ( Mercedes cla250 ) which will be delivered by the end of the month, am looking for the cheapest and easiest fix so that I can sell it off fast or even trade it in for the $4000 they offered me for it.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
