Hi People
Any ideas ??? Trying to save some $$ before I take it to the shop?? My EF (6cyl) auto thuds between each gear, can not hear any slips in the gears though. There is a slight wind in top gear when driving on the highway, place it in nutural at 100km's and the wind goes away? Any ideas. |

Are you sure there is adequate fluid.. and the right viscosity??? If you bought it second hand prob worth draining fluid and replacing.. i know you only just put fluid in but trust me.. all sorts of crap builds up in there..
Cheers, Nik

by the looks of the car, i say it could be shift kitted maybe, the car has no stereo, probably because a young lad had a expensive one in it, the car looks lowered quite a bit, theres an okley sticker on the back window (unless you put it there) tell tale signs of a young owner.

a shift kit can be internal work or an electronic shift kit, to firm the shifts up, and i dunno how you can tell.

I had a clunk from first to second gear in my gearbox. Cant remember exactly what the problem was but it was a few probs.
I also tried to do it on the cheap. Your better off getting it done properly. Mine ended up costing me $2400 with a new casing and all. Very expensive!!
