cathartik Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I figure its worth throwing the question out here - though it has been asked on other forums as well and if I can't really get a solution then a workshop can handle it Current situation: I have a 1JZ-GTE mated to a A341E gearbox sitting in my 260 - Auto electrics are far from my forte and I've had a friend of a friend to do wiring that allows ignition etc - So I've got a car that idles and obviously the neutral start switch is at least sorted. so I was hoping to drive the car under her own power up the driveway this weekend (seemed appropriate considering this has been nothing short of resurrection) (sorry any religious types) - put the car into drive - nothing... effectively sat at neutral - same deal for all gears other than park - so I have a car recognising when it is in park and treating all other gears as neutral. Done what I feel are the utterly obvious things - mechanical linkage to shifter seems 100% and according to the dipstick fluid levels are totally fine. Anyone out there have a clue or suggestion what could be going on to cause this issue as vague as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB30X Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Did you try giving it a rev in Drive. Was the stall convertor primed with oil before installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoota G Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Be sure to look at both sides of the dipstick as only one side will give the correct reading. The correct side will have a defined line and the other side will be smeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
