Hi Mates!
Recently my baby didnt want to change gears. Stuck at 2nd or 3rd. Pulled over and restarted the car. All ok again. Shifting was rather smooth as usual. But I know it will be back again. I quickly researched here for answers. Everyone pointed to conductor plate, speed sensors as the usual suspect. I connected good old iCarsoft and diagnosed. There are 2 speed sensors Inside the tranny. Yn/6n2 and Yn/6n3. I drove around and recorded the rpm. Sure enough there are times that 6n3 reported 0 rpm when 6n2 reported a plausible one.
Most resources I saw on the page deals with the 7G tranny. Mine is a 5 speed. I hope I don’t bother you guys too much with The following questions.
1. Are the speed sensors in the 5G tranny as problematic as the ones in the 7G version? I cannot see anyone selling speed sensors for 5G tranny. Only 7G. At least not in ebay.
2. What is the reason for having 2 sensors? Redundancy?
3. i see a lot of people selling conductor plates WITHOUT the TCU and solenoids. Any opinion in these?
4. I would rather just replace the speed sensor and maybe the solenoids, I dont want to mess with the TCU. Is that possible?
thanks a million guys.
