Hi all,
Just wondering if someone could help me out with a couple of different wiring diagrams for the 2009 5speed manual gearbox and the more recent 2012 (I think).
Background:
So a little while ago, I started to have difficulty shifting down from 4th to 3rd, but with a bit of persuasion I could knock it back. Then, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't drop it back to 3rd from 4th.
A Temp Fix:
It turned out though, as I could shift up from 2nd to 3rd without a problem, I could just drop back from 4th to 2nd and then move up to 3rd (with out actually engaging 2nd gear, just shifting the selector).
Repair Options:
Some research on my part (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=9040&hilit=gear+selection+issues) it seems to be an almost common issue. I had a chat with one of the local mechanics (I'm currently living in Orange NSW) who suggested that to remove the box, diagnose the problem, order and wait for the parts, then reinstall the box, was going to leave me out of pocket about $800 in labour + parts, with the likely hood of requiring my vehicle for anywhere up to 2 weeks depending on parts. Or I could get a second hand box and they would install for about $600-800 in labour pending.
So I spent some time establishing if I had the two switch type box
or the one switch type
It took some time to find thew two switch type, as the one switch seems to be more common, but I found one and got it sent up.
The replacement goes awry:
So I have finally found time this weekend (it's been at least 3 months), to use a mates hoist and swap out the boxes. The first inkling we had that something wasn't going to go to plan, was what seemed to be a different number of plugs that were occupying the bracket on the L/H side of the box as we were removing the original. After removing the box and placing it side by side with the original, there is a completely different number of pick up sensors as per the pics.
This is the original box:
There are singular wires for each of these sensors and the plugs are all for single wire connection.
The sensors on the new box, each have two wires and all the plugs have two pins.
I'm hoping someone out there has either gone through this before or has a wiring diagram of what the sensors actually do for each box. I'm hoping I might be able to just change the plugs over on the wiring harness to suit the two wire plugs. I guess the other option I have would be to take both the boxes in to someone who specializes in gearboxes and get them to use the parts from the new box (if they fit) to fix the old one. But if I can get away with just changing the plugs, well that would be my first choice.
Any takers?
