POS TD5

Hi Guys,

So.... the D2 is at it again.

Literally just replaced the gearbox, full service before fitting etc.

Hey presto, fuel pressure reg decided to leak... so, replaced that, then a fuel line cracked. replaced that, and hey it works again.

Drove to work, perfect! drove home, perfect! went to put it in reverse to come int he drive way... sweet f all!

put it back in drive, nothing. in any gear at all. Just from going from drive to reverse, its **** itself.

So I figured, ok, maybe the xyz that came on the replacement box is shagged... common problem... so I replaced it and wouldnt you know, not that.

it does not appear to be making any noises when changing gears in high and low same result.

really am at a loss to what the heck it could be. it was only just serviced so gearbox fluid had 9.5lt put in it (was completely dry except some in the torque converter) so fluid is still OK.

any suggestions would be awesome otherwise im going to burn it!

Transfer box selector lever slipped into neutral?

I wish. Checked that too

If you get the gear selection indication on dash and no M+S warnings then IMO it's something mechanical, it can happen after few miles too not just instantly, here's from ashcfroft's site:

I have just fitted a reconditioned ZF autobox. I have filled the box with the correct amount of oil but have no drive at all, forward or reverse. Why?

The first thing to do is to remove the oil cooler pipe from the bottom of the gearbox (put a container under the open end to catch the oil) and start the engine. You should get a good flow of oil. If not the pump has been broken during installation and will need replacing/rebuilding. The torque convertor must be fitted to the gearbox, located correctly on the pump and locked into position before the gearbox is offered to the engine, otherwise damage will occur to the pump, resulting in no oil flow and subsequent to other parts of the autobox.

Broken Flex Plate?

here is something I learned only a few month ago the XYZ switch is just an inhibitor switch I tried this while I was doing some repairs


I had the XYZ switch removed from the transmission but I needed the car running due to work ..so I decided to temporarily plug in the XYZ switch not connected mechanically to the transmission... basically hanging in the breeze as long as the XYZ switch is set to P or N the engine will start


and I had full operation of all gears (kind of weird seeing P on the dash while doing 100KPH LOL


I did notice when selecting reverse into my garage I was rolling forward it slammed into reverse and jolted me back . sorry to ramble on but thought I would share this



your case it does sound mechanical I would recheck oil level if its good it could be possible the pick up pipe has dropped off

Thanks for that - we did it ass about. We put the torque converter on first and then the gearbox, transfer and handbrake in stages.

looks like its going to be gearbox out again issue by the sounds of things regardless

It's an easy mistake to make if you don't know. While it's out, have a good hard look at the flex plate, as that can easily cause issues for you as well.

From what you have just said I appears the TC is not seated properly. Hopefully you haven't damaged the pump whilst you cranked the engine.
