If you have 7045E in the gearbox can I take it it is OK to mix Dexron VI with it during a first change? John

Thanks Phil 👍 Best get some ordered and something to fill the box back up with I guess! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Well found a tub of 20l of dexron VI for £82.50 delivered if anyone near Warrington/Manchester/Liverpool wants to go halves? Enough for at least one change and a partial flush if so wanted but I believe if drained when warm almost all the old oil bar maybe .5-1litre should be left in the box? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I got 20 ltrs of Texaco 7045E for £87 ish delivered, that's 2 flushes or 4 oil changes Just do a search for 7045E and you'll soon find a bargain

Geoff the GM 5L40E's valveblock is made from cheese, but most of it is en croute (pastry, easier to shape and slightly more solid)

And Craig, I know that Phil's got a reputation sleeping and eating GM 5L40E gearboxes, but I don't think that it is literal, he might get the hump if you feed him just on gearboxes, you might want to consider opening the door and throwing a happy meal in there every now and then  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

I had seen it had come down in price a little but why bother with an older oil? If Dex 6 is whats specced now then its going to be better for the box otherwise they would still be sticking with the 7045.

With Phil recommending it as well thats enough for me  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Sorry Pete , should have read "sleeping, eating and having nightmares"

And being a ZF man just makes it easier to spot the shortfalls of the GM box  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I have also struggled to get in touch with you Phil, I sent you a PM a few months back with all my gearbox troubles but you must have forgot about me  2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

RR phil has mentioned before that he will not respond to pm's or emails because of the great quantity he gets..

if you do have a question re gearbox's then post on the forum, any answers will help other members if they have the same problems. ... - .- -.

Hi Stan, I did do just that. I posted on the forum back in May about my gearbox issues and got no help except from haylands who tried his best. I gave up asking after that and my RR is still sat in the drive not working  2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

Phil holds down a more than full time job as well, he does his best and gets on here when he can, as Stan says he has turned off his PM's as he was getting dozens a day.... Pete

Thanks very much Stan  2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

The only feedback that the transfer box ECU (& indirectly the transmission ECU) receives to tell it what range is selected on the NV225 is the voltage signal from the shift motor potentiometer. If it loses that signal for any reason then it will immediately failsafe the transmission as it has no idea what range it’s in. You need to check that the resistance between pins 1 and 2 is around 4.7 kilohms.
