flekker Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Anyone had the smart jump out of gear at highway speeds. Mine did twice today both times after about 80 km of driving doing about 110km. Engine sales running but the dash showed 6 th gear. Manual shifting did nothing. came to a stop and tried all gears including park and neutral but it stayed showing 6 th gear but the tranny was in neutral. shut the car off and started it and all goes back to normal. No dash on the speedo and no codes logged and it drives perfectly fine. ? this one is a head scratcher so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseLugNuts Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 id check out the harness that runs up the intercooler shroud on the drivers side its just a guess though...im surprised no one chimed in yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willys Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Yep....and maybe get a tranny re-teach....? That requires a STAR system... The gear select motor wiring gets rubbed through where it hits the inter cooler scoop shroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flekker Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Just installed the drive train and went over the complete wiring and connections at the same time. Only found 1 wire that started to rub the yellow insulation to the wire. No broken strand or corrosion. The piece of wire was cut out and a new piece soldered and heat shrink in place. How would one acquire a star system. I like being self sufficient. or where would one go except the dealer. I’m in the Lindsey are and commute to the Toronto area every day Also the drive train I got had a EGR emulator so I did the complete EGR delete. The motor had bad lifters so all I had to do what’s replace all 6 lifters and rockers. Is more noticeable turbo noise with the EGR delete. The noise is not concerning just more than I’m used to.

Leadwing Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I have no answer for the original question, but there is no "park" on a 450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willys Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Well technically speaking no, but if you stop in gear it acts in the same way....not that I do it....but some do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
