poorly sally

[briggie]

yep , sally broke down today in a hissy fit .... she decided she wasnt going to go backwards .

she drives forward perfectly and goes through the gears smoothly , but will not go backwards.

atf level is perfect , as is condition of it ..

so , sally is at the garage , , ross is going to read the manual and see if there is anything he can do ,he suspects it might be electrical/electronic , but isnt sure .

if it isnt .... its a gearbox out jobbie , and is probably the reverse band .

we will see .

im sure you wish sally well during her " illness " , and lets hope its a speedy and painless recovery

ross is the mechanic at mytholmroyd motor company , hes going to take a look at the a/t section of the manual and see if there is anything he can do , if not .... well ...... decision time i guess

Well you called your first car Sally, and then you go and introduce another woman called Wendy, of course Sally will play up. :doh

its a w reg showing nearly 200 k but runs like a sewing machine

needs
front drop links
screen very cracked (insurance fix potentially free)
tailgate rusty needs replacing
exhaust blowing

its a nice truck mot'd still and taxed
i recon its worth 800 quid. i'll find some pics

 

[briggie]

ross isnt a auto gearbox expert , he freely admits that , but he says if it is a actuator/external valve etc , then it may be possible for him to fix/find the problem ... if its a internal problem .... then no

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

might be worth seeking Rick's opinion on the reverse problem before making any decisions :thumb2

no clive , gearbox has been changed since then ....last time it wouldnt move in any gear ... but since its been replaced its been fantastic , untill this morning .

rick/swifty are brilliant with all the work they have done on my truck , i have no doubt at all the work they do is top notch .... i suspect this issue is with the new box tho
