i have just had my car intercooled and boosted to 13psi and now gets 152.5kw at the wheels. now when i take off it goes through 1st gear nicely but then it struggles to go into 2nd but eventually does. once in 2nd gear it fills like the trans is slipping but it doesn't free rev so its not fully slipping if u know what i mean. its like its doing wheel spins but it isnt. it doesn't make any bad noises like bangs or anything either. the thing is it only does it under full boost, if i drive the car normally it doesnt do it. so if anyone can help let me know.

Your box is most likely toast (assuming your fluid is at the correct level), but try adjusting the foward Band as per the manual, its the one inside the pan, easy to do. if you dont know what to do I can give you instructions. you will need to burrow a small torque wrench that has a scale up to 20 N-CM. This may get the box working but will need a build soon (if not now)

i was told that the bands cant be adjusted in the auto because they are hidrolic of something like that

na you have been informed incorrectly. there are 2 adjustments for the bands on the autos.. all u need is the torque wrench to get em at the right tightness ! easy job, but pays to have a quick read before u do it.. while u have the pan off too, good time to wack a new filter in there and top up with some fresh fluid ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm going to change my auto fluid very soon... like next time i get some money.. I heard filter mentioned... ? Wat else should i changed / tighten while i'm under there and the pans off ? I have noticed my shifts ain't as sharp as they used to be... Could this be those 2 adjustments u were talking about... I have the max ellerys manual... but doesn't really go into detail Any help will be welcome Thanks

i ve had the same problem then got a a reconed convertor, that fixed it up realy good. you can try it.

Ehh what price does it cost to get your convertor rebuilt???? Also does anyone know of any places and charges to get the jatco rebuilt wither in the illwarra region or sydney... Cheers
