, so far I can't shift it. If anyone knows how the rubber block is secured that may help me to release it.
UPDATE
the vans fault was no drive out of the transmission and you could not hear the trans shift into gear
then it would not start - would not turn over- thats when i learnt about the motor noise not happening when open the drivers door - after tapping it i manage to get it to run
these seam to fail around the 200 000km mark
so it took a bit of research and motivation and had a win
madparaglider - correct about the motor cable as i had the same trouble
i removed the 2 torx bolts opposite each other to withdraw the electric motor from the pump
i then removed the mounting plate from the pump which is held by 2 x 6mm bolts and a mounting bolt from the steering to k frame and also 2 x 6mm nuts
then you can see 2 more torx srews that hold the motor cable to the pump- remove them - undo the cable plug and then withdraw the motor out
no i have done one i just took my mates one out in less than 30min
theres a little coupling drive from the pump to the motor- just remember that
i had my motor rewound with new brushes - total price of the whole job cost me $265
fitted the motor and the van drive great
new hpu from ford excess of 7g
a recon hpu from recon center on the east coast of oz wanting 3.5g
plus bleeding of the transmission which did not have to touch
if i have trouble in the future on the asm trans i would consider removing the asm unit from the box and converting into a manual shift clutch like someone else explained on the forum
just would like to say a big thanks for the forum to help guide those that would like to have a crack at repairs
