Gearbox

[Aspen]

Do Typhoon have any electrical switches or something in gearbox? When I speed up and change gears manually from 1 - 2 then few seconds will be engine like switched of and then start again speeding. After start check the engine light!

what

 

[Aspen]

If to change gears manually is there any sensor what give information to the system what gear is on?

Is English not your first language?

The shifting of the transmission is done mechanically. It seems that you are having problems shifting but I do not understand what the problems actually are.

That correct. Sorry for my bad English!
Problem is when I try to start speed up full throttle and change gears manually then from first to second gear engine loos power or what ever (I can say stop speeding up for few seconds and then will come full bower again) and after start light in dashboard Check Engine. If to do it with drive then this is not happening. Repair Guys look over engine and turbo and they are sure that problem is not in engine. They do not have any experience with this kind of car gearbox and they ask from me is there some switch or some electrical sensor what give information what gear is on etc.

Not sure what exactly is going on. I wouldn't be dumping it to 1-2 like it sounds like. Not a manual vehicle. Pretty sure you put it in D or the OD.

You can simply warm the truck up and check the transmission fluid after the truck is WARM. Truck must be in Neutral (N). Block the tires for extra safety measure. a extra helper would also be good.
Also a basic scan tool could help pin point some problems.

Thanks!
I will start to look over the oil.
Maybe stupid question, but if I do drag race can I damage the gearbox if I will start manually change the gears?

the truck is not any quicker manually shifting, let it shift where it wants

at what rpm are you trying to shift from 1st to 2nd?

 

[wildphil]

If you leave the transmission in D or OD and accelerate at maximum rate. Does the engine loose power like that also or only when manually shifting? I am wondering if your truck is over-boosting under hard acceleration. It will loose power just like the key in the ignition was switched off until the boost drops then run normal again.

Another thing that I will mention. I don't know what RPM that you are shifting at when you are manually shifting. The Engine in those trucks do not work well at higher RPMs. As mentioned shifting manually will not gain you any speed over letting the truck shift itself.

It does loos any bower if I will drive with D or OD. So that can be that over -boosting and wastegate will open. Thank You! I need to look over when I will change gear.

Do you know how to check for diagnostic trouble codes? Here is a video that shows how to do it if you do not know. You can use a paperclip or piece of wire to get the codes. This guy tells you that you will get a code 12 for 3 times to start. That would be the check engine light flashing one time for 1 then pause flash two times for 2. Then after flashing 12 for the 3 times if any other codes they will flash them 3 times. I think over-boost is code 31. Let us know what the codes are if you get any.

You dont need to change gear .... its a flipping auto

I bet this dude is trying to get to the redline on the tach , pointless with a stock cam
