Did you sort your cv problem out?

**Okete** · Friday 25th July 2008, 19:45

Where's the 'Spelling Police' when you need them!!

I honestly didn't realise that automatics had clutch plates! I thought it was all done with hydraulics, torque converters and fluid couplings - that's why I can't be much help to you I'm afraid!

Still, best of luck though!

Cheers,
John.

i havnt got a clue how an auto box works but aparently the plates that transfer the power from the engine to the gearbox are slipping under power.
the car drives fine if i drive normaly but give it any power and brrrrrr it slips witch is soooooo anoying when you have boyracers fly past you and you cant blow them away LOL.

and yes MIKESC70T5 all my cv joints are sorted now.

Sorry to hear that bad news is my auto box went 6/7 months ago and it was more than i paid for car to get it fixed.Place in Hammersmith i used in the end but mine was TOTALLY shot bloke reckoned he'd never seen one so bad it seems to be quite a specialist jobby.Guess it depends how bad yours is gone but you could be looking at over a grand for a rebuild.See if you can locate a good second hand box? Maybe even buy a crashed write of auto and use the box etc? i seriously considered converting to manual,seems it can be done if you can get the bits.Personally i would never buy another t5/t5-r etc auto.

yeah i no what you mean i have had so many problems with this car. just been thinking and if im offered a good price i may sell it as it is.
how much is my car worth the way it is?
also mine is a t5r so do i need a t5r gearbox or is the t5r and the t5 the same autobox?

**freaky fingers** · Friday 25th July 2008, 20:15

Is this the t5r that nads sold?

why?

**freaky fingers** · Friday 25th July 2008, 20:22

No reason chap,

just thought if you mention to him the gearbox has issues he might be able to get you a replacement one? possibly with a little regular customer discount?

**Tomcat** · Friday 25th July 2008, 20:48

Glad to see your keeping it, but sorry to hear that the gearbox is fubard, hope you get it sorted cheaply.

yeah? how many parts have you had to fix so far then? LOL

if i keep it all depends on how much its gona cost me to get it sorted.
if i get offered the right price then its gone to be honest

**mexybhouy** · Friday 25th July 2008, 20:58

get it converted to manual then! plenty spares out there and it's different! thought auto boxes had clutch bands, maybe that's where the confusion about clutches come from????????

**stainesy** · Friday 25th July 2008, 21:02

yeah thats whats slipping on mine the clutch pads i think. maybe able to just get them changed. hopefuly.
the car drives fine its just under power it slipps
