Well I'm just restoring my 2nd Surf, bodywork is in great original condition as the whole truck, it had 120 000 Kms on the clock with original dials etc even the explosive flare in the passenger footwell, she drove like a dream, until today! Drove out of town to collect meat from Butcher for tomorrow, come out started truck, and basically although the gear sector moves she doesn't budge an inch forward or back, in every gear! What a NIGHTMARE!
I am aware the engine ECU is shared with some gearbox controls, so swapped out one from my other surf and still nothing, checked all the plugs & linkages underneath - all appear to be ok.
Its beginning to look sinister, however, i hold faith it may be electrical as it just suddenly stopped. The fluid is fine (I fitted proper tranny cooler).
The strange thing is i can hear the engine change note when it goes into FWD or REV ,but i just doesn't move?
Also when moving back to Park,I can hear the Sprag Make a horrid ratcheting sound,like if it had been put in park whilst moving (Yeah I done it once, in a V8 powered Granada)
Has anybody suffered the same fate?
