I'm about to recomission my Z ready for this years use lol, when I drove it back after being painted the further I drove the more it felt like clutch slip. It was about a 12 mile journey and by the time I got to my estate the revs were shooting up and the car really wasn't moving very much!

 

Anyway roll forwards a couple of months and I finally got round to checking the oil level today the oil is clear with no burning smell, if anything it looks over-full as it's on all the dipstick even the hot part when the oil is cold.

 

I do have a manual conversion to go in the car but struggling for time before some meets and shows this month so was hoping for an easy fix to buy me some time, any ideas guys please?

Have you removed some oil and tried it mate? Maybe the over fill has caused some pressure damage to the plates, idk?

Drop the sump and see of the strainer needs cleaning, loss of fluid pressure and drive is often caused by this been semi-blocked.

How's that helping baz realize that he needs to sell me his car? :lol:

Haha thanks for the technical replies guys, will try that at the weekend Jeff :yes: . @Steamy I drove the car back from London and have used it since so strange that it's happening now.

 

I do have another autobox, but if it's coming out I'll just move the manual conversion forwards. We aren't far away from the cov meet and I'm still waiting for rear wheels to arrive, then get them fitted along with coilovers, MOT, tax, etc... :(

 

And NO it's not for sale lol :slap:

Sorry Tomo...........lol

 

Could buy this though........

So baz are you not keeping the turbine wheels that came on the Zed?

And veilside, has that car got any not or tax? :lol:

No mate you can buy the turbine wheels so all you need is a Z to fit them to :)

 

I've got an idea in my head of what I want my Z to look like, and I'm sticking to it... :) although no wide arches this time just awesomeness and fitment

i had a similar problem last year,cleaned the strainer twice it worked for a while before slipping again.i ended up getting a 2nd hand box.

Thanks for the input mate... Hopefully I'll find it blocked, is it a new gasket needed or just sealant? And can you reuse the oil if it's ok or is that just tight lol :whistling:

How much would you want for the turbines mate? And I may have found a Zed but I'm keeping quiet about the details at the moment :)

Mine started doing this. Eventually everytime you accelerated it would just slip, revs would rise car wouldn't change speed. Came to the conclusion that torque converter was goosed. It went manual after that.

Let's fit the manual you bummer it's waddo air show this weekend and I'm working nights so can help out!

 

i got my gearbox fitted to my zed on my back on axle stands..so chop chop
