well i thrashed my car a bit on the weekend, high speed drags and stuff, almost all from rolling start (only stalled for 2/3 secs when standing) and then my box started slipping into 2nd gear (revving out) i gathered was really hot or something. anyway got home after 1 hour of freeway ultra cruising and found my transmission cooler to be ULTRA HOT as i couldn't touch it.

i left it till the morning and yes found the fluid to be cooked as black oil :-( i changed the fluid, pretty good as in pulled the cooler pipes and the gearbox and flushed it when putting in some new stuff. went all good but then found it to still get hot even still, and now its gone an off colour, that was about 2 weeks ago and now its slipping into 2nd gear again. 3rd is ok, haven't actually done any high speed 4th gear so unsure yet.

what would cause this? im planning on changing solenoids off my spare soarer but i couldn't find any info in regards to the heat issue as in ULTRA HOT and pretty damn hot just driving around a few blocks driving normally.

btw i have 300hp and a mv 1.5 shift kit

For one, it gets hot for absolutely NO reason, even during normal driving.



Second of all, if you don't thrash your car, go buy a hyundai?

It gets hot because the box is slipping most of the time now.

"If you dont thrash your car go buy a Hyundai" hmmmm so this is why they are popular.

Shane when your 91 tt was new it would take a bit of stick , but after 18 years they are bound to have worn parts ,and when pushed they play up.
Hope it all works out OK.

You can do the diagnostic test from a tutorial either on here somewhere or Planet Soarer.

Good luck

yeah diagnostics turn out fine
however for the first few corners the gearbox is pretty drivable, only easily slips when warming up. gonna try the solenoids next week

If its a solenoid it will show up on a diagnostic test. It's a 5 minute job if you follow the directions in the tutorial.

Someone posted this for me a last december and I am seriously challenged with some of this stuff if I can follow it then anyone can.
Diagnostic Test:
Do Diagnostics Test on ECT and if Code 63 displays then the Soleniod No 2 is faulty.

Connect a paper clip through E1 & Te1 on the Diagnostic Connector under the hood E1 & Te1
( it's a small round box in plain sight)
Turn key to Ign ON

Klingon Message in CLOCK display

Press Scroll Button

Will show ECU

Press Scroll Button

Will show ECT NG

Wait for numbers to show.
Then go to the tutorial and look up the numbers

Overfilling the fluid can also do harm and not good.
