Hey guys, new member here. Bought an RVR HSG auto, was running all good for a few weeks, then all of a sudden, overdrive decides to stop working. When you push the O/D button in, it goes to neutral till you turn it off, so revs pretty high, so i stopped driving it far distances. When it started doing that, there was no clunk or broken sound, just stopped working. I have not enjoyed owning it which is a shame coz i do like the car. Please help me and no, i'm not putting in a manual gearbox haha

You'll notice you have no 2nd gear as well. You have 1st, 3rd & reverse

Your 2nd gear band has broken (typical) & also your OD 4th will be worn now

welcome to the broken auto/4g63 world.

 

If you are going to keep the car I suggest getting the box fixed properly. Aldo does a good job and Im about to send him one of mine.

Jamo OD 4th doesn't normally fail alone.

The owner can check the OD clutch pack at the drivers wheel.

If it's completely shagged, he could just try fixing that. Might be lucky.

But now his 2nd band is burnt as well while using the OD 4th.

Usual diagnosis is the 2nd band has broken = box out to fix 2nd & 4th.

That's why I weld s/s bracing on my 2nd bands & line them with kevlar.

I want to buy an RVR auto just to get Aldo to do the box! Your experience in these boxes is next to incomparable
