got a bit of a problem. i hope its a common problem that can be resolved.
to start this story i brought this maverick that came with a fresh motor with receipts and a reco box.
the previous owner said he thinks the bands are due for adjusting. well he seamed full of crap so i didn't read much into it.
on driving it home i never got over 80km due to out of round tyres. for the next 6 months the 4by sat in the car port as we got it to roadworthy condition.
first trip out there was a shudder as we went into over drive. this shudder got to the point where i had to push the power button in to get past it. the the power button did not work all of a sudden. no first gear and no over drive. i was told the shudder was a torque converter issue. so i sourced a replacement. i specified what i needed and was given a c2 torque converter, the one i took out turned out to be a c4 ? but all the same it fitted perfect. at first there was no change. i ran the story again by the transmission man he then said ohhhh arrrr check the fuses. shit. its blown.
cool got all gears back and they rev out nicely now and all, a bit noisy in the converter department.
all was going fine for the last two weeks and then today, fuse blew again. any thoughts?
