Hi



Uploaded with ImageShack.us


2 days before there was a sound on gear 4, and when the car change from 3 to 4 it's vibrating.

today in my way to home the Gear box stuck on 4th
and the screen shown "Gearbox Fault Reduced Function"

I try to change the gear using the pedal its not work,

any Advice / idea??

 

[altawashm]

I booked for 21th Nov in the dealer to check the car + service.

I'm driving the car using the pedal shift 1,2,3 and no acceleration on changing to 4 and there no fault.
if I change to 5th the gear will stuck.

I will try to update what i got..

p.s. there some garage called "Dexol" said: there other 2002 aston 5speed gearbox got the same fault and they change some parts of the gearbox (the dealer asked to change the hole gearbox).

Up-date:

I contact with "HWM Aston Martin, New Zealand Avenue, Walton on Thames, KT12 1AT"

and I got this:
"The gearboxes are available as reconditioned units. The retail is £9,392.00, we can give you 20% off this price. If you can return your old gearbox and it is not damaged beyond repair, then AML will refund you 50% of £9,392.00, meaning that with discount you will pay £3756.80. I hope this makes sense, please let me know if you would like a shipping quote or if you have any further questions"

there collaborators not the stupid dealer in Dubai.
I will wait for the gearbox report and then decide what to do.

p.s: when your engine is cool, check the coolant and see if it's mixing with transmission fluid
might be a long shot, but it's worth a look

Thanks man, I'm waiting for the dealer report it now 3 days in the service.


Up-Date:
I found a 2008 DB9 scrap and the Gearbox are in perfect Case but can I install a 2008 gearbox on my 2007??

 

[altawashm]

Up-Date:
The local dealer report arrive and what a shock, the Gear-box need to change.

what should I do?? no excuse, I need to contact with the "2008 DB9 scrap" to ask about the 2008 model.

 

[altawashm]

The dealer should be able to tell you if there were any significant changes between the model years. I would tend to doubt it.

You're right, but I will contact with "Aston WorkShop" better than our dealer.

If u see the report hhhhhhh, they ask to change stupid thing's.

 

[altawashm]

as far as i'm aware there's been no change in the transmission for the DB9 till MY2009

You right man, I got this Email:

Up-Date (after watching Al Ahli vs AC Milan in Dubai):

The Gear Box price:
Local Dealer (Dubai): 132,000.00 AED = 22,998.48 GBP
hwmastonmartin.co.uk: 4,600.00 GBP = 26,377.30 AED
(plus shipping price + they want the old Gear Box)

* I found a new Garage called "Fiorano Service Center": 7,870.00 GBP = 45,097.40 AED (include the install ....)

*All the price above for a new Gear Box.

so I choose "hwmastonmartin.co.uk" but they havent reply for 5 days!!
I will wait then the "Fiorano" will be my choice.

Quick post:
I doubt this will change the situation much (and not sure if you have or have not seen),
but we have an 06 Volante parting out on this forum....

Otherwise the 7,890 is close to factory price, iit is a good 2nd choice.

Thanks,

Up-Date:
the insurance company will pay 90% off the GearBox price + Change 2 rims + rear break pad
So I need to get the Gear from "Fiorano Service Center"

up-date:

I opened the Gear box remove all the oil and clean it and change the oil filter it was fullllll of dirty.

but now i don't know where can i get gearbox oil !!!
the local dealer ask for 420AED per liter!!! mad dealer.

 

[altawashm]

@ Micah Thanks.

lets post some information about the gear box

 

[altawashm]

I just had my Gearbox oil replaced & new lines put in and my cost for the oil was $400USD. Crazy.

$400is good price.
my mad local dealer ask for hmmmmm
5050 AED = 1,372.236 $
That's just the GearBox oil price

 

[altawashm]

up-date:
today i receive a call from the garage "sir the car is working and u can receive it tomorrow".

So what did i ask the garage to-do:
1- change the clach
2- there was a broken shaft (change it)
3- change the gear oil (there was a lot of grain in it)
4- change the gear box down filter/vessel

and its work!!

that better than change the hole gearbox which cost lot..
(i will try to post some parts photos)

[altawashm]

In case I have this problem at some point, do you mind my asking what is the "clach" you refer to in item #1?

Thanks,

Nick

The same clach in the BMW " ZF 6HP26 " and its will work

I notes that AM used BMW, Jaguar and Volvo parts.
maybe they use more !!!

I'm in Dubai, but my advice is to look for a garage had some ppl worked in AM dealer.

that will be great and im doing that here

 

[altawashm]

just want to remind, the gear box oil type should be exactly the same Aston use.

i use other type and after 1 year the gearbox start to be jerk !!

this work is a big experience for me..
