Hi guys. Bought a MN Triton 4x4 5 speed auto with a transmission fault. Took a punt so hoping it pays off
The vehicle shifts from park thru reverse neutral etc with no problem. When selecting Drive the vehicle engages only third Gear and will not change up or down at all. Moving the gear lever to manual Makes makes no difference. The vehicle can be driven but is obviously limited due to being stuck in third gear.
The āDā on the dash flashes continually and the engine check light remains on. Plugged in my cheap ass scanner to no avail
Have spent several hours searching this site and the net looking for answers. The only thing I can find is an English bloke who did the same thing and go had the exact same problem, albeit with second gear. He found a broken wire in the gearbox wiring harness which rectified the fault. He suggested they have a common fault where the harness rubs and a wire breaks albeit the insulation remains intact. Have inspected mine to no avail.
Live some distance away from mechanics etc but spoke to an auto electrician to no avail. Not really interested in having a look. Spoke to a tranny guy who was helpful and confirmed he believes it is an electrical problem albeit source unknown
So the purpose of my post is hoping if others have had the issue and can detail the fix please.
Many thanks. Pete
