    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    ok here is an update for everyone reading.... so the 100 series 4 speed Diesel auto and Petrol V8 auto box is the same, there is 1 place to drill and tap when using a petrol box on a diesel vehicle.... however the V8 5speed auto is different to the 1HD-FTE 5 speed auto and simply will not fit...

    100 series not responding after first gear

    might be better to add this 1st, a friend drained his before adding the additive and in some cases to o rings are so bad that new oil makes it worse.. u can always add another bottle with new oil

    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    last and most expensive option is to replace the gearbox, so I have bought one from a rolled V8, complete with the transfer case and the shifter... there is nothing else to try... even my Unichip has been bypassed... If that has to be removed altogether to make the box work then thats gonna...

    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    ok i checked aussie and feedback there was to try replace the cluster as a speed sensor on the cluster there might be faulty, i did that... no joy... Also for all here on Mud, the 5 speed diesel auto is the same as a 5 spd V8 petrol auto box... all we do is drill a hole and tap a thread in the...

    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    When the computer box is unplugged from the gearbox, and the vehicle tested, it works in 1st, 3rd & 4th gear by manually selecting those gears. When the computer box is plugged back in then it works upto 3rd gear only and does not go into 4th or 5th gears....

    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    Hi Moridinbg, I upgraded the turbine in my turbo, and had the local installer then put in a chip, its been running for about 20k km no issues, I was 460nm before turbine upgrade and Unichip... I only expected a 20% increase in efficiency and torque, so I dont think i am anywhere near the 800nm...

    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    Diesel I had the Unichip bypassed, using a plug that comes with the unichip as i was worried that was the cause... It didnt make a difference... do i need to remove the whole Unichip completely from the vehicle?

    5 speed Auto problems, not going above 3rd gear!

    I hit an Ox with big horns, used here in Zim for pulling the Ox-cart. I hit on its left hind quarter after it ran into the road, travelling at about 60km/h (37mph) just off the farm in Dec 2019. The Ox was ok, just bruised and a few ticks got squashed. Insurance paid out 12k and I replaced the...

    Took my hundy through some rough roads, from Harare to the top of Zim via the Kanyemba Road, a good 250km of dirt road, starting after the escarpment entering into the Zambezi Valley, and then into the Park. We had some scary parts railsliding the Hundy on deep tracks with loose stones keeping...

    1hd fte mixing diesel with motor oil problem

    I know this is an old thread but I have a 1HD-FTE and it's 11.4 liters not 11.5 quarts. I think that's your problem... but 11.4 is same as 12 quarts. And 11.5 quarts is same as 10.9 liters... so if u did follow that then you used less oil... I also always measure what comes out every service to...
