I'm having really big trouble with my current auto transmission. I never seems to want to stay in OD when I put the throttle down a bit and when I've got it in POWER mode, it still changes into OD when going 60km/h. It also flares a bit when changing from 2nd into 3rd gear. Should I get my current tranny reconditioned or just get a used one, and where can I get them?

It may sound weird but before you spend a heap of money on the transmission. Replace the Dash cluster. Or get it refurbished. Mine used to go in OD and sometime not, and shift early, so i replaced the cluster, and it works like a dream now. If that doesnt work, get some more info on the box, hope this helps.

Go 5 speed buddy with r33 or get a 2nd hand auto. Do not reco ur auto!!! Waist of cash!!! Check ur trans fluid Check the OD solenoid on the auto But do not re build ur auto mate! Ull kick ur self when u sell the car a year after u reco it lol I sold my n/a Vl calais for this reason then bought a mint n/a Calais converted it to manual so gutless so then sold that n bought a 95 five spd excel for a daily n it will blow away my old Vl lol

How much would it roughly cost to get a manual conversion? ---------- Post added 08-10-12 at 16:56 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Jako-25 [View Post] It may sound weird but before you spend a heap of money on the transmission.

I am planning on getting a calais or berlina cluster anyway because I don't have a rev gauge, i dont like any of the aftermarket ones. But thanks for the tip, didnt think the cluster would be the problem at all.

Yeah mate youd be silly to reco your auto... ive known people to literally throw them out... dime a dozen. For a stock n.a manual conversion youre looking around $600+
