Hey forum, once again I seem to have an issue.. So my 1jz vvti swaps finishing up, just doing the intercooler pipes and exhaust, but when I drove it on the tow truck and into my garage I noticed my 1st gear doesnt want to stay in.. I should mention I was driving without intercooler pipes due to the extremely short distance, so it was just rich. I'm gonna try her again once the intercooler pipes are welded up, but when I drove out of the shop to the tow truck it didnt want to stay in 1st for more than 15 seconds, and sometimes I'd have to try to jam it into gear to get it back into first.
I should mention I got this tranny directly after it was ripped out of an MK3 with 140k miles, but second gear was so perfect and 1st was so bad Im speculating it shouldnt be so black and white. I replaced the flywheel and clutch for a chromoly FW and 6 puck ceramic clutch.
Is there any common swap mistakes or tranny issues that could cause this? or should I consider I got ripped off and try to rebuild the bitch? I have a mechanic who will gladly take a look but any info will be a great help..
