Possible transmission problem??

[fourteen8]

Found my car refuse to go. Engine start fine but when put to D, 1, 2, 3, R it doesnt want to go. Looks like a transmission problem. :(

Anyone has the same experience and anyone can point to the cause of the problem??

TIA

Has the transfer case lever slipped into neutral?
auto trans fluid on the ground around it?

Checked the transfer case lever. Move it from high neutral low and back to high but still no luck.

Didnt check the fluid on the ground. Could it be low in fluid?

How many k's on the car? My D1 had the same symptoms (and 3hrs from home) and it turned out to be stripped splines in the torque convertor - but it does have 360,000 k's on it. Recon TC was under $200 - the big hassle is removing and re-installing the gearbox and transfer

Its nearly 280000 km.

Went and check the car again as its about 30 minutes from my home.

Found atf on the ground on pasenger side close to radiator. Need to check the rave and see which pipe that off.

Anyone experience this problem? I think I saw a thread about losing transmission pipe somewhere lately on the forum. Thanks.

Have a read of this thread Gus...http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-2/156615-lost-auto-transmission-fluid.html
There are a few threads on this issue.
The hose/pipe splits or the swage blows of like mine did.
If it hasn't been run for to long with no fluid you may get away with it like I did.
I had my hoses repaired by a Enzed type outlet, others have fitted new hoses.
Fill the auto as per the book/rave(run it through the gears ect..).

It will be your left side trans cooler line. Look down between the Air box and front left corner of the motor. More than likely the crimped joint has failed. If it is and you are going to replace it yourself you will need a modified ring or crows foot spanner, or a lot of patience with a 19mm open end spanner to get the fitting off the trans. Suggest you drop the front exhaust pipe off, it makes the job much easier. ( Read the Auto Trans Post a few below this one) Job is not that hard and suggest that you do a trans filter change at the same time and refill as suggested by Alien .

Thanks Harry.

Bought the parts for both LH and RH sides. I thought I do both while under. Do you think its a good thing to do?

But I forgot to order the oring. Do I need to replace them? Can I get the replacement from somewhere else like pirtek etc. it is just pirtek only 10 minutes drive from my place b

[Nanna Truck]

If you purchased genuine parts the o rings should already be on the pipe. If not, definitely replace the old ones. You need a 19mm spanner for the transmission end, don't over tighten them. A 10mm for the mid pipe clips and a 8mm for the front mount. Gently remove the old pipes and remember how they came out. Makes putting the new ones in much easier.
Good luck with your project, and remember, patience, proceed slowly.
When you are refilling the trans (running through the gears) check for leaks at the joints you just connected.

Harry.

You are right. Just check the pipes and they come with orings.

Borrowed crows spanner from friend last night. I dont know how people can access with normal spanner. Did a grab of the nut but the space is so tight and hard. I think Need to remove the exhaust like Harry said so I can put extension bar. But I bet I will be faced with rusty old nuts and very hard to undo. Just spray wd40 for now.

At the moment have to put the project on hold as boss told me to take daughter to ballet class instead of her and pick up family at the airport after that. What a luck. When you need the car badly something wrong always happen. :(

Managed to undo the nut of the autobox side. Now the hose that plug into the cooler. Anyone can give me a hint on how to do it? Do I need special tool? Thanks.

Gday mate...first time ive wrote on here and hope this helps...i had a pipe of and it was a rite job getting it back on...you have to make sure there fully on or itll blow of again....i found the trick was to twist a bit as ur pushing it on...and when its on youll know...you hear and feel it click into place.
Next one....i hope you dint run it much if its dropped the oil...found it had burnt the plates inside and had to replace the box...was cheaper than a recon...did this on my own...pair of ramps and 2 ratchet straps...few blocks of wood and het presto...lots of hours later...done.
Ps....is it a d2 auto...the zfhp22....have a spare one if your realy stuck.
Thanks.

Push the hose towards the trans cooler fitting and pull back on the black plastic clip until it releases the locking pins. Have a practice run on your new hose to see how it works. As suggested by Blknight in the auto trans post, spray the joint liberally with WD40 or similar, to wash the dirt out of it. Could not get the right hand side one of mine to release and had to modify a tool to fit over the pipes and squeeze the joint together.
Best of luck and well done at getting that transmission nut undone.

Harry.

Finally get the car back on the road on Sunday. After managed to Break one of the screw of the trans sump and couldnt get it out so got someone to took it out and put the oil. He managed to put nearly 10l of trans oil in.

Thanks for everyone whose giving me directions.
