jakai it will click into reverse and it engages but i look behind me and press the accellerator and i go forwards !! lol

hi all as some of you may be aware i had a new gearbox ( a working one) put into my car the other day to replace the -what i thought was a nackered one, however i am still getting issues. The car struggles to pull away as if it was a clutch problem (dont know if autos have a clutch?) or as if its in 3rd gear, well now the car wont reverse!!! it only drives forwards which is all good except i dont like pushing my car into parking spaces and off the driveway like fred flintstone. any ideas what this could be ?? i just want my car back to normal ! heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllp :thumbup1:

ask her if she got his email account in the divorce settlement too ! -- sounds a but ropey imo

the old cooler lines how do i clean them out, we used the cooler pipes from the new box if that is what u mean, am looking to replace the actual cooler when i have the pennies, like i say it engages drive now fine and its very responsive in the low gears it just hesitates a tad when im waiting on it to change up a gear when driving at about 35-40 mph it hits about 3k revs and i lift my foot up off the gas a tad and it will change- maybe im just being paranoid.

as of above everything is fine now thanks jeff and the rest of you, jeff's trick worked a treat. i do have one other question. the gearbox is now in and running we have moved the selector through the P N D 1 2 etc to allow oil to get around, at first the car had to rev up to move but gradually cleared out as i am told let the oil get around and any blocked air out etc, which its running a lot better now, but sometimes it revs when im waiting for it to go up a gear sort of a hesitation will this clear up also ? is it a case of as i havent hit the high geats that much on the drive the oil and air is still coming out or ??

mate sorry to hear this :( , whatever you do though dont sell any of it, no matter how much you get pee'd off. i hope you make enough money on selling odd parts as above to get you to the 300 mark etc, but for the sake of 300 quid dont throw all your hard work away, just stick it out, it will be worth it in the end- 'good things come to those who wait' - Mr Guiness

jeff your a ledge ! thanks for your help :D

ill get it checked tomorow, bit dark out now :D thanks for your help, if i got him to wire me a permanent re routed wire so it starts again whenever i turn the key can anything go worng is it safe to do so.... ( obv im takling if i cannot find the source of the issue)

znut how and where do i do this?? also another bit of info the guy who fitted it for me he did a wire thing and started the car from the starter motor just to check if it would start and it fired up fine.. but wont work with the key in the ignish!

cheers guys, johnny boy - i dont have aftermarket alarm just a standard zed from japan with all manufaturers stuff, if this includes imobiliser i dont know? gonz - the starter motor has been connected up corrextly ie the live and the ignition switch wire... is there an imobiliser and if so how do i reset it ??

everything was om working order before hand and all when back on the sme... i did disconnect the battery do the cars have imobiliser??? and how to de activate it ??

just had my autobox swapped and everything put back together but the car wont start its like an imobiliser fault?? there is power going from the battery to the starter motor but there is nothing to make it start up?? the lights on the dash come on but nothing when trying to start.. help please ???

all the best mate .
