when the car detects you are driving fast, even if you havent put the "power" button on, it activates it itself

so no, your auto is NOT stuffed

think of what you could do to your gearbox + engine with the thousands that it costs for a manual conversion...

cheers,

Warren.

how could you come to the conclusion that nothing is wrong with such a short desciption waz? You must be some sort of a mind reader lol.

When was the last time you have changed your gearbox oil? Try that first and if it doesnt change at all then you might have a stuffed box. You dont want to be changing it if nothing is wrong.

when given such a short description chris, you have to try and "fill in the blanks" otherwise this guy is never going to goe some help with his problem as no one replies to automatic-related threads

from the first post it seemed that it was simply a case of: he didn't realise that the car automatically acitvates the power button under fast acceleration, based on the information that was given. i didn't see anyone else popping in with some help for the guy

yea dude but the box stays on limiter n doesnt change at all or voilently drops it into gear with a bang... also to get it to change i need to take my foot off the accelerator to get it to change, and thats granny spec driving otherwise it slowley creeps to limiter

then we get the above piece of information that clearly should have been stated initially

"doesn't change gear"

"violently drops into gear with a bang"

so kamakazi, unfortunatley your transmission is stuffed and its time to get to a transmission specialist

its much easier to post chriticism isn't it chris when you have the extra information?

cheers,

Warren.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
