Default Re: Powershift Problems Continue

There's a lot of videos on YouTube about a probable easy and virtually free fix for these.

The clutch actuators get sticky with clutch dust.
The two actuator motors can be removed (4 bolts easily accessible) then the actuators "excercised" using a cordless driver with an Allen head, while spraying with brake cleaner.

After they're freed up, a little WD type lubricant.

This seems to be fixing the vast majority of problems, and seems to be lasting about 50,000 km before needing to be done again.

IMO well worth trying before trashing a car because of the ridiculous amounts dealers and transmission shops quote.
