Re: 1988 T25 Auto box only reverse

Been a while but alas Gearbox still does not work!  Can anyone recommend a specialist to rebuild it?
Many thanks in advance!

1988 T25 Auto box only reverse

My auto box was running great yesterday, took it out today for 6 miles and started slipping, now only goes on reverse and no forward gears engage. Oil is at correct level, what could be the possible issues? Cheers!

Re: rebuild or re manufactured engine.

I did mine myself, having no experience with these engines, Haynes and the lovely folk on this forum! Parts were expensive but I had fun doing it and the satisfaction of it running again at the end is fab! However, it took me 3 years to complete 😳 but that was due to time and there is the constant w...

Re: Is my temp gauge too high?

Update on this, just checked my bills from brickworks and it seems I only replaced temp2 switch and thermostat, I did not replace gauge sensor. So I reckon the old thermostat was an 80c one and it now reads higher because I fitted an 87c. It suggests to me that it is working properly.

Re: Engine rebuilt but bubbles in header tank.

Maybe worth checking it again then, that stuff is a Bugger to get rid of , it hides in the radiator ( and the heater rad ) and escapes again Yes I think it is air, ran it today and level in header has dropped to top of pipe again, will add more coolant in the morning when cold. This is the first ti...

If you think the bleed rail maybe a factor, check it isn’t blocked , it’s common for the bleed rail pipe to get blocked in under maintained systems

Thanks, when I put engine back together the bleed rail was blocked and I cleaned it all out, some prune had put in radweld to cure previous leaks.

Re: Engine rebuilt but bubbles in header tank.

Thanks guys for this, very interesting! I have opened the cap while it is cold and now topped to the brim! Will keep an eye on it and top up as required.

Re: Engine rebuilt but bubbles in header tank.

Thanks for this! I just had a thought, the level in the header tank always sits just above the pipe on the right which goes to bleed rail, could it be that there is simply not enough coolant in the header tank? If I remove header tank cap the level rises to the top, then tighten cap and Rev engine b...

Engine rebuilt but bubbles in header tank.

Ok, rebuilt DJ 2.1 injection engine and it has now done 500 miles so ready for oil change. However, I am getting bubbles in the header tank causing a gap of about 2cm from top of tank, just above the rubber pipe that comes out of the right hand side. Now, I am assuming it is not the head gaskets as ...

Thanks. I have a timing light and was wondering if you can get the tachometer on its own?

Tachometer

Can anyone recommend a tachometer I can buy to set the timing properly? It’s for a 2.1 DJ Auto.

Cheers!
