Hi,

I'm driving a 6 yr old 159 and today experience not being able to get the gear into drive (auto mode). Had to change the gears manually including downshift to lower gear when I come to a stop. Whilst waiting at the traffic light, the gear changed to N eventhough the display showed 1. Had to manually shift to N and back to 1 again before the car could move.

 

Wondering if this is a problem with the clutch overheating and time for a change?

 

Appreciate any advice here.

Thanks,

it is not a clutch issue.

 

The solution for you now to prevent it from happening is to make sure that you let the 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' sound come to a complete stop whenever you get into the car. And if possible, put in your key, and if there is also eeeeeeeeeee sound, let it finish singing. Then you fire up the car. Try to move it to D first to test the Selespeed is ok before moving off.

 

That is my preflight check every time now. So dont expect me to drive off quickly from park. :D

 

It is more of the actuator pump issue.. if you dont let it fully prime.. there is not enough pressure to auto move the gear, hence u get all the 'refuse to drop gear' problem.

 

Or you can change the whole SS pump and motor assembly.. only $1600+ niah...
