92 Pintara T won't select drive or reverse.
« on: Mar 15, 2009, 04:31AM »
Hi just wondering if you guys can help. I've got a 92 pintara T auto and when I first got it, it went into drive and reverse fine but one day I let it warm up for 10mins and when I went to shift it around my back yard it wouldn't select drive or reverse. When you click it into reverse it feels like its in gear but it just rev's up and doesn't move. Any idea's?

I had a Ford Falcon like that - it would get gears cold, not hot. The bands in the auto were shagged.

This might not be your problem, though.

My old auto would slip once the car had heated up a little. Ended up being so bad only 1st and 2nd would work.

I agree, it does sound like the bands in the auto are screwed. At least you can pick up a replacement auto pretty cheap now.
nothing.

Checked the fluid lately?

Check it with the engine running in park.

there is a wrecking yard in wacol (QLD) that does a pick your own parts kinda thing so i'm thinking of going there and picking up some bits but my worry is that I am a commodore nut and this whole front wheel drive thing is different and I have no idea how to remove and re-fit an auto box to these ka24 pinny's. Anyone got any info on this?

hunt up the full service manual that's on here, that should spell out the procedure.

I can't remember the link offhand.
