Hi all,
I'm a new member here.. Been reading on this forum since 2010 and said to myself why not be a member and share on this lovely forum.
Two weeks ago I noticed during long drives that sometimes the car gets a hiccup feeling during changing from 5th gear to 6 gear. And that happened a couple of times in auto mode, as if something is holding the gear to change to the higher gear,I would usually put it in manual to do the change. Since it happened only a couple of times I didn't worry much. Recently I was cruising around everything was fine and suddenly the car slowed down as if it was braking and got engine and trans malfuntion, I stopped the car and checked the codes manually (no cobb on the car) and got code P0729. Gears 1-3-5 only work, everything else looks ok, temps are ok. I'm guessing its a VB issue or something over there got stuck from dirt.
Btw I own a 2009 US model,30k miles on it. Stock,I never race or track my car, its my daily driver. Usually trans temps are below 96c. And changed the trans oil to HKS dctf 8k miles ago. Car run smooth everytime untill my recent problem.
Questions are.. Did anyone have the same issue before? Any suggestions on what to do? And how to solve this problem. Since I haven't had time to take it anywhere to check the trans. Who works on gr6 trans over here in UAE? I hope its not more than a VB cleaning job.
(Had an issue with a brand "X" rotors before and ill open a new topic about it later on.)
Regards
Waleed
