[QUOTE="zib, post: 612225, member: 23925"] finally had to send the car to Bomin as now I have NO REVERSE gear! Funny had to push the perfectly running engine out of the parking lot today haha... A quick search on the net showed the reverse drum or hub is broken. This is the achilles heel of the 5HP19 gbox they say. So guys, when you reverse, be gentle and try not to put additional strain on the reverse gear such as a full passenger/load while reversing or reversing uphill. Do that often..then the reverse hub will wear out faster. There is a thicker reverse hub on ebay but I am no mechanic to advise further.. as the 'box still has to be dismantled which i saw involves a lot of work and time..sigh Bomin guys will take the 'box down tomorrow and will let me know what's the problem. In any case they will still need to send the 'box to a specialist. Told him if he could save me any $$ please do so. I hope it is just the sensors and the reverse hub...not the dreaded torque converter. But if it is the TC then..no luck...big hole is imminent to my bank...haihhh [/QUOTE]
