carl0s Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 The gear selector is standard so is the dash its just you have only got launch and second It can't be standard then. The standard selector has a 'D' as well. Do you mean it's there but the selector won't move to it, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 yeah its all there but only when you select "L" on the dash it says "2" and when you select "2" the dash doesnt report any gear, but "r" is "r" on the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Stick it in D and move off. You can then count the gear changes although if you rag it fourth won't appear until way in to prison visit speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 But "D" doesnt do anything its like neutral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I presume you weren't told about all this when you bought the car. If you haven't had it long I'd take it back for refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 But "D" doesnt do anything its like neutralDid you not drive the car before buying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well, if its working correctly, you'll only have 2 forward speeds. AFAIK the GM Powerglide 'box is the only one around like that these days. They tend to stick them in drag cars so you don't lose time changing gear over the 1/4. If it is one, its not a bad 'box, but you need to optimise the axle ratio to get it to max out just as you cross the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yes the person told me the gear box had been changed which is why i wasnt too bothered, just wanted to know if anyone knew what they where called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Is it going to be a drag car then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
