Possible Tranny Trouble - Shifting Issues

[psilosin]

Did Mardy just forget to adjust it prior to sale or is the TPS something that should be checked and adjusted a couple times a year on these vehicles?

[jessef]

few variables
not checked because it ran great when brought in but loosened from the engine shakes (happened to our Chamonix 1 month later)
checked and adjusted but not tightened down enough and same as above
is slowly wearing down

[mrdueck]

My TPS is turned to the max. It goes OK but the voltage is almost 1. Profister, how much is a new TPS?

[tonydca]

At least you saved yourself a cool $4k in a tranny rebuild had you taken it to a shop that said 'that's the problem right there'.

ZZzzzinggg!

hi, craig,
did adjust the tps sensor on your delica L400,before i give it to you, i adjust all of them now.
sometime even you adjust it after a few kms it might change happen to me 5 times.
sometimes dont know why and if it change a lot change the tps sensor.
not much we can do about it as this is electrical.
no guarantee on electrical module even it new there is always few defect on it.
now craig you mention you pay the injector to rebuild it for $ 1,600 for 4.
thats quite high almost buy a new orig. one
i did rebuild, clean and preset your injector before i give it to you.
all of the vehicle i sold is full service including injector.
this injector dont need to rebuild it.
in case they rebuild it they need to change new nozzle tip no need to change the injector.
but the nozzle tip should be orig only not china. china is no good test it but when it got hot it
wont work good.
i sell original zexel nozzle tip for only $60 each X4=$240 retail. original mitsubishi nozzle tip.
not replacement;
big diff for $1,600 installed.hope you they did not installed korean one for 4d56 as this is diff that 4m40.
as many people are confuse about this. its diff.
as per tps sensor check it all the time and monitor it.
this spacegear l400 is almost bullet proof when it comes to transmission. dont listen to any transmisssion place that it needs to change transmission.
they dont know what they are talking.
have problem like this or worse on sergie car.
they all say tranmission even saying we got 25 or 30 year experience, but they cannot fix it.
i play dumb.
try to fix sergie L400 for 10 days 10 hours a day.
check all module elctrical and other. bring to 4 reputable shop with experience all saying need to change transmission;
in the end i fix it for only 15 minute job with this tps sensor.
all the hard work for 10 days is gone.
talk to the transmission guy and they cannot believe it.
in short they are luck of experience. and if your not patient they will charge you min $ 2,500-3,500 for the transmission that dont have any problem.
so you guys have to be aware for this, be patient ask help pls
as those guy dont care for your expenses.
very expensive.
Hope this help,
Cheers;
Mardy

Hi Mardy,
Can you tell me why Korean nozzles for 4D56 won’t fit 4M40?
It would be appreciated if you give us a concrete background.

We have a non-turbo-use, turbo-use and intercooler-turbo-use in stock from Hyundai Mobis.
No offense anyway, just curious.

Nice product pictures. Not really related to transmission but okay.

Quality between an OEM manufactured product and an aftermarket Chinese/Korean product.

The material v-groove in the nozzle is different between Japan (OEM), Korean (aftermarket) and Chinese (aftermarket) because of the tooling process.

The same goes for many other JDM's. I have a set of Korean nozzle tips (paid $20 each) for a TD42 and you can visually tell the difference between the original Japanese nozzle tips (paid $95 each).

The reason people buy aftermarket tooled products comes down to two things : cost and availability.

Simply put, you get what you pay for and it comes down to whether you want to pay for Japanese or Chinese or Korean tooled products.

Don't knock used OEM nozzle tips. They are tough and take a good cleaning if done properly and the cracking pressure/spray pattern is set right. CVI are experts on this.

Hey guys - While I respect you both and appreciate your part availability and knowledge, I would really like to keep this a knowledge based thread where helpful insight is passed between all valuable Delica owners. I really think we have enough of the constant bickering in other threads - no need to let it spread like the plague. Again - thanks to all that have provided insight into my issue and helped me solve the problem.

Off topic, but it is apparently obvious that Mardy has a super spokesman “ jfarsang” in the forum.
We asked Mardy about some concerns. haha

I am very glad OP solved the tranny issue .
But if the TPS is the case, it should be replaced with new one sooner or later IMO.

^^^ There you go again, your posts are starting to get annoying. ^^^
FYI, it doesn't matter if you put one of these at the end of your post, talking like a jacka$$ and attacking others is still seen for what it is. You are damaging your own reputation.

I don't see jfarsang being a spokesman, he is contributing relevant technical information in a timely manner, if you haven't noticed, that's what he does.

Good grief


Sorry Craig, had to throw in. Back on topic though, I had to replace my TPS, ended up changing it out just last nightin fact. It fixed my shifting problems and is now working perfectly. What made it even better? It was sent to me at no charge from Amazing Auto Imports. With good customer service, yes, your customers will support you.

[CREGAN]

Well, I got 2 days out of it. Driving 25km to and back from Edmonton and it is back to Ferret Fighting. I think this may be a sign I need a new TPS. Agreed? Going outside to try and see how much it has slipped in either direction because I know for a fact it was set to 0.79 two days ago.

Edit: OK now when I hook up the voltmeter I get a clicking noise at the blue/yellow wire and no reading. Starting to get a little frustrated.

Try cleaning the connector plugs and put a bit of dielectric grease on it. If that doesn't work then new TPS

[tonydca]

Also try loosening the screw(s?) which allow you to rotate/adjust it, then give it a few back-and-forths for the full extent of its travel before re-measuring/adjusting the voltage and tightening it back up.

Sometimes dirt or other crud can accumulate inside electronic bits, and in the event it's hardly been moved in the past 15 years or so, a bit of a shakeup might just do the trick.

Worth a try before replacing....

I will give it a try, but I am not measuring even a reading and when I connect the red probe to the blue/yellow wire, the TPS just clicks. Will try this afternoon. I think it has been screwed for a while. I have had the crappy shifting issue for months. I think the adjustment was probably what pushed it over the edge.

Craig

[CREGAN]

OK well I couldn't wait until this afternoon. I still get nothing after trying the last two tips. Zero voltage on both wires. I guess I need a new TPS. Hopefully I can get one soon, because driving it while working normally was really kind of fun!

Craig

[MardyDelica]

hi, craig, you need a tps sensor.
if its in this case.
check again if you do it right sometime we did hock up in the wrong wire and then there is no reading .
check again pls.
do it slow step by step pls
