if 2nd was gone it wouldnt drop into 2nd when in drive... Just a turbo box with a stally is it? Nothing else done to it

it's semi manualsed, as in i can drop it into 1st at any speed, but can also put it into d turbo box and i believe the bands are upgraded

valve body lars id stay a seal has blown (at a guess) on a valve hence the not shifting. from memory 1st gear operates differently as it applies the one way clutch so you'll have first gear. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

but your forgetting that i have 1st and 2nd if i select D spoke to shane (jet) seems that the pressure modulator shouldn't have atf coming out of it, and it does so most likely have broken the pressure modulator and hince why it wont shift gears! will test it tonight and let u know okies so changed the pressure modulator (no difference) buzzed the auto (no difference) when i flushed the auto, there was tones of metal in the oil, but another 4 litres in, auto work for about 5 mins (only first and second) and then when back to slipping again any idea's peoples please!

okies, so i have flushed the box with about 10 litres of oil, i then removed the same and took the filter etc off and cleaned it all, everything looked okies, nothing major in the filter so i filled her up again and when for a blat, still holding onto first, and not letting it go into second untill i backed up a little also after i did this, i held second flat all the way to 160 and it didn't slip once? now i did this a few times, and then it started to slip again, i also noticed a werid shuddering, as in when i gave it at about 100, if loaded up and then was like something let go! help, can this be a wiring issue on the auto, as in he wiring to the ecu ? cause if i unplug the ecu it's drives exactly the same, i though that was a bit werid ?
