Howdy/G'day/Konichiwa or whatever screams help in your language...
Vehicle: '97 1HD FT VX Limited with a A442F box.
History: 1.Since purchasing the vehicle I've had overheating (Oil Temp Light of Transmission) issues with the box. She had over 450 000km on the clock.
2. Installed an aftermarket Oil cooler and it helped but during a crazy trip the box gave her last. o-d light flashing and oil temp coming on but she brought us home over 900km.
3. Had gearbox rebuilt and transfer case at a reputable Transmission shop.
4. After getting it back Gearbox shifted smoothly but after driving my first gravel the o/d light started flashing again and it felt like the vehicle goes into some sort of Limp mode of skips second gear. So she does pick up speed but it feels like your in the wrong gear.
5. Took her back and according to the smart guys they replaced the valve body and a solenoid but they were not sure that was the issue.
6. Drove her for a week and then after another gravel road same story. Took her back and they can't find the problem.
7. After explaining to them that I am very calm and not mad, only disappointed, I collected my vehicle from them and told them I will try and diagnose the issue myself.
8. I cant seem to get the fault code reading from the OBD 1.
9. Where do I start? I'm feeling maybe Throttle position sensor? I dont even know where it is....
10. Any help would be much appreciated!
