WANTED First Gear Valve Chest Wanted Please!
- Thread starter jaymanek
- Start date
Yes i checked that...
the car was fine with the normal valve chest. I swapped out for a FGS one last year. It started doing it immediately.
It will engage reverse fine, but then without warning, slams into park. Sometimes immediately, sometimes not.
Im not totally familiar with the inner workings of a valve chest but to me there is a weak spring or such? worst case, I could have it rebuilt, but that means car off the road for X days and more time...
So id prefer just to swap it for a working one if possible.
Hi,
Yes perfect in all forward gears...
Car drove perfect before i swapped the 2nd gear start to 1st gear.
I think like you say, got to be a sticky piston or something....
If no one has a working valve chest, ill just pull it out and take a look.
