B15 Tranmission problem

[Anthony]

Hi all,

I have a 2000 B15. I'm in traffic this morning and one minute everything is fine, the next minute, I have to give the car a lot of gas to move off. On the open road the car is extremely sluggish, as does not shift gears as it used to. The engine idles fine and revs fine, and reverse gear seems fine also.

Also, when I start the engine, to O/D lights blinks for a few seconds. That never happened before.

Any thoughts?

yeah anthony I could give you one good piece of advice............ switch to Mitsu

[trini_baba]

could be alot of things.................need a tune up............gas choke(fuel pump)............clogged injectors..............

[ziig]

hmmmm...not sure but if the light is blinkin it may be a fault code? maybe your trani fluid is low ? or something is wrong with it.....when it was cold did it work better and got worst as it warmed up?

anthony if your car have no transmission oil you will have trouble selectig gears but Im sure you check that already
I busted my tranny case and the oil leaked out and had a similr problem

Actually the talk was he was going to put in an RB26.

were the handbrakes up?

Just kidding...

Reset your tranny or main puter by unplugging your battery for a while then putting it back on. That should solve any computer glitches that may have occured, with my car, if the tranny puter detects any fault in the tranny itself, it goes into beyotch mode and refuses to turn on OD and changes gears very harshly. If that does not help, check your fluid levels and colour.

p.s. I'm not sure if the B15 has a computer controlled tranny.

It's in the shop right now. I'm waiting on a call. The guy seemed to know his stuff. He asked if the OD light blinked, and if the car was not coming out a high gear, both of which were true. He identified either a solenoid or a sensor (I don't remember the specifics).
Will update you.
Wish I had tried resetting the computer, though.

[Anthony]

Shift solenoid replaced.

[Wolfie]

how much $?

[Anthony]

600 for the solenoid, 150 labour, 115 for the fluid, & add VAT.
