what do you think of this tranny pan? gritty junk in there -- I'm guessing clutch parts? Yikes.

No - you don't have to completely remove the Y-pipe and crossmember.... front of Y-pipe, all bolts from crossmember and lower it 3/4 the way. makes a mess...

 

Okay, so the filter replacement is done. 4 MORE new quarts of dex3 and LUCAS tranny additive. All forward gears work GREAT, no problems, no slipping. However, NO reverse yet -- it does not engage/slip, it's just like neutral.


So more research in the manual....

Does anyone know what Rover means by "reverse gear interlock valve siezed"? The only other reference to it in the rover manual is the "gear selector interlock" and it's electronic -- no "valve" (that implies fluid, not electronics). I've attached the gear interlock portion. There is an inhibitor switch -- is that related?






Thanks,
