Alright guys, I am ***** deep in the middle of a turbo setup. I have a guy welding all the piping in less than 2 days. Everything is ready to go.
I take the car out for one last run to see what she can do on 8.3:1 compression and my POWER light doesnt come on anymore.

I replaced the bulbs (comfort works now).
I ran the diagnostics and no light.
It starts out in 3rd and stays there. I cant shift to 2nd or 1st.
Do I have O/D? NO.

Any ideas guys. I will try anything.
I might start a 5 speed swap and put off the turbo for a few weeks.

 

i think you might wanna slow down on the turbo and go tranny shopping. did you have it scannned to see if any codes were getting pulled. did you smell the tranny fluid, does it smell burnt? and i know my friends vr-4 lost first and second and it was an electrical problem. the car runs without the power/ comfort so i dont think it could be that. just some things to try and think about, hope it helps

 

I know the tranny is actually fine. Something is wrong with Tranny computer or a sensor. I tryed to get the codes but nothing comes up. Those are the bulbs I was talking about. Because my old power light was burnt out.

 

On your shifter is the shift lock button pressed in?

 

Yes. the sthift lock button is working.
