Corona Problem..

[woodz89]

Hi guys.

Ive got a a St141 Corona with a 3 speed auto. Auto seems to be having trouble selecting reverse or park. Its like theres something stopping it from engaging anything above neutral. Ive disconnected the selector rod and its definitely something internal in the box..

 

Looking for any advice on what the problem might be.

 

I'm thinkinh it mite be easier to just put a 4-5 speed manual in it but I'm not sure what boxs will fit straight in..

 

Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated guys.

Cheers

Actually can anybody tell me what the 3 speed auto model actually is. Ive been told its a bw 34 or a bw 40. Can anybody add some light on this. Its a st141 2s engined.

In all honesty it's probably not worth fixing. I would think if you shopped around that you wouldnt pay more than $20 for another gearbox.

 

Have you done a fluid change?

Nah i haven't changed the fluid, i've just bought this car, one owner from new, all original and overrated condition.

 

Only had it about 2 months and just use it to drive to work and back. Being as i only bought it recently don't wanna throw the car away..

I've had a couple of my cars not finding reverse... checked fluid and was very low. Topped them up and good as new.

 

I know it's a stupid question but is she low on fluid?

[woodz89]
