Taslucas's TB42 Ti

I think they must have had to make a new mine to get the raw metals for it then build a plastics factory and raise some workers from children to put it all together!!

So that mean its in and working now???

[taslucas]

Ok so I picked up the sensor....it was the wrong one.


Got them to get the right one...

Two more weeks go by.....

Picked up the correct sensor last week. Booked in to get it fitted (yes I'm lazy Todd! Lol).

Picked trol up this arvo.....

Yep......the new sensor hasn't changed a damn thing.....

Hmmmm what next?

Going to borrow a Mates TCU this weekend and try that. It's from a mav with a series 2 box? (has O.D button and HOLD button?) so would that be ok?

Wish me luck!

Not sure if the TCU will work or not, I don't know if I personally would risk plugging in someone else's TCU unless it had the same part number on it.

I better go back to the start of this thread and have a long re-read

Yeah, I wouldn't be keen to put another TCU in unless it was an exact match.

If you have any thoughts of adding a manual toque converter set up, now may be the best time to do that. It'll let you isolate whether the problem is in the torque converter, or in the sensors.

I'm almost ready to post a thread with the whole story of my manual torque converter project, should be done very soon.

Should not be the TC as you have fitted a reconditioned one.

When you got the new valve body, did you also get new solenoids or did you use your old ones?

You're right, my bad.

It's not hard to test the circuit. Just undo the connector near the battery and measure the resistance between the correct terminal and earth.

I was told by wholesale autos that a failing lockup solenoid was super rare and that it would be all good, so I assume they didn't change it.

Everything is brand new except for the solenoid for the lockup TC. So I'm thinking it must be that.

It can only be the lockup solenoid, speed sensor, some damaged wiring, or a faulty tcu.
The vehicle behaves as it should for the first half hour or so if driving.
If I go straight onto a highway I can drive for more than an hour without the problem happening. Then if I stop for 10 mins or so, when I get back on the highway, as soon as I get to 90k/h it starts playing up! So what ever is broken will work for a while then start failing. I thought it would have to be temperature related as nothing else changes while driving.
