97 si wont go into reverse (auto)
i got a 97 si vtec wont go into reverse i did a tranny swap and a flush and still nothing ?:confused:
|
shifter linkage may be seized or something..
|
park neutral drive all work fine ? i also changed the computer and still nothing my mechanic says he never seen anything like this befor lol
|
hmm thats odd.. there must have been something wrong with the tranny you put in, or how it was put in.. also to do a proper tranny flush you need to put it into reverse as well.
|
the old tranny did the same thing reverse will only work if i play around with the shifter until the drive light flashes then i have full reverse ? any idea
|
thats really weird, maybe it has something to do with the wiring harness or ecu? thats about all i can think of
|
i changed the ecu already this cars a pain the in ass lol
|
are the lights in the back turning on when put into reverse?
|
aka reverse lights (sorry morning time)
|
lol everyones slow in the morning :p and i really dont know what to say man, thats really odd.. find one of the "gearheads" and PM them and see what they say
|
yea the lights work fine lol i think i need to just burn this car to the ground

^^ it's auto, it wouldn't be that offencive. the cable is prolly the problem. I'm not sure how the ecu would stop the car from going into reverse. the engine stalling out in reverse maybe but just not going into a specific gear, doubt the computer that doesn't physically have anything to do with gear selection can prevent you from getting into reverse. I think regardless of your mechanic never having seen this before, doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to proper diagnostics. Go see Zeeman or Chrisv2, or even me at my shop and have someone who will look at your car properly, and not just throw parts at it till the problem goes away, help you.
The fact that you car has had a tranny swap and still no reverse tells me that A/ your mechanic is out to make a buck, not keep a customer and B/ doesn't know what is going on inside an auto tranny, not surprised they are very complicated. Even Honda trannies, witch are worse than most because they refuse to pay royalties to use the normal planetary gear set that is used in everyone else's auto trannies. |
