Samcrac, I hope you read this post. I had the EXACT same problem with my Vantage. I replaced the clutch with Velocity AP’s kit and broke the longer cable as you did. Fortunately, I did not break the shorter cable…but decided to replace it with a new one just for preventative maintenance. I could not get reverse gear. After several adjustment attempts I reinstalled the original cable and once again had reverse gear. If your original cable still has the part number on it, you will notice the new cable is a superseded part. It’s about 1/8” too long (from the snap-on connection that clips onto the top of the cable bracket on the tranny….. to the ball joint that snaps onto the lever). I bought my cable from Scuderia in the UK and have been emailing them for 3 months about this. They even got Aston involved and were insistent that i received the correct part. I sent numerous photos comparing the two cables along with exact measurements…..I showed them the cable is about an 1/8” too long! In the end I just kept the original cable and returned the other. More than likely, there is nothing wrong with your transmission. The adjustment portion of the cable cannot be adjusted short enough. You can probably see the “stop” for the minimum and maximum adjustments. I thought about removing that stop and seeing if i could get it to work, but decided that a $300 cable should work off the shelf. Hope this helps!

Greetings from the UK. Not many people know this but all Aston Martin's have a built in driver sensor system. This software is incredibly sophisticated, it's so good that it can detect the nationality of any driver. And I'm afraid that's the problem here, we just can't have Americans in baseball cats driving classy British cars like the Aston Martin - so, quite rightly, it only drove 60' before the sensors did exactly the job they were designed for. Please accept my apologies for this. Think yourself lucky the ejector seat didn't cut in and throw you 150' into the air.

Also I really think that becoming friends with a machinist would be a good and cheap route to future auto troubles that are not on the cheap to fix and where you and Tony generate funds from KZread the cost for machining a custom PCs shouldn't be anywhere near normal cost

Looking at the video...the car starts and it moves forward. Reverse is selected and lights come on and it moves backwards. There is no banging or crunching as it does this. One therefore deduces that the transmission appears to have worked at that point. Once off the bench after the 2nd clutch job the trans then can't select reverse...only when you take the selector top off can they then move the rod....so appears an interlock is stopping it from doing that...otherwise if it were the cables, the guy would have been able to make it select all gears on the bench by moving the levers surely?.

Rear Main Seal Installation... I had trouble getting the RMS istalled on my 928 S4 5-speed. I was able to get it started, but could not drive it down. What I did was take the old RMS, and using electrical tape, I aligned and taped it to the backside of the flywheel oriented so that both RMS's met face-to-face. I attempted to install the flywheel but the stock bolts were now too short. I ran to Ace and bought bolts half-inch longer which then allowed me to get the flywheel started. I went around and tightened the bolts a half-turn at a time which pushed down the RMS perfectly square all around. Finally, started the car and no leaks!

It looks a lot like the reverse lockout solenoid not working Unless it’s powered the transmission won’t go into reverse. You can see the reverse lockout solenoid with the orange wire coming off of it at around 16:45 . If it wasn’t plugged in after the new rear main seal the car wouldn’t have been able to go into reverse no matter what the linkages were doing.

Just make your own cables up with rose joints and make sure the shifter block is properly aligned. You have the original cables so it should be hard to get some push/pull cables made up, modifiers have been doing it for years.

Another beauty of a video the comedy your doing 🤣🤣🤣

This is the shift interlock assembly. It gives the feel and location of the shift relative to the shift rods and forks. There are small balls and springs that ride on shafts in this assembly that help give the shift it’s feel. These also have ball bearing assembly’s that support the shafts that can fail. You can typically disassemble these and inspect the parts for wear. It should be a set of roll pins that can be driven out with a set of punches. Thank you for the great content!

What a pain in the Aston.

My SRT8 Jeep did this 8 months after rebuild, had installed a brand new rear seal plate that had the seal already installed. That was fun.

Man I’ve been waiting for an Aston update!

Touch nothing with a dremel or any other tool. Think logically, did it work before you put new cables in=yes. Was the selector cover removed during your original maintenance=no (I assume, but correct me if I am wrong). I can only assume that you have put the new cables in with a forks out of synchronisation. It all worked before the new shift cables, so it can only be something simple. Put the selectors in the neutral position as seen in your video, ensure all the selectors on the plate are in neutral position, and check the cover goes on easily and the selector forks are aligned in the centre of the shift lever. The key is to rotate the input shaft while selecting reverse or any other gear to ensure you do not "baulk" on a selector. I do not believe there is an internal defect in the box. It may be something in the gear lever mechanism too.

I’m actually rebuilding a graziano L140 from a Lamborghini Gallardo right now. That fork selector looks very similar to the one from the e-gear system or the manual selector from the manual version. Make sure the selector is centered when you install it. If yours is bent, try to find an Audi part number for the part you are looking for, way cheaper than Aston or Lamborghini. Also, there is a shop in Texas that is the “graziano dealer” for the United States, HCF Autosport. I’ve never been able to get them to answer my calls but worth a shot. I need to buy a ring nut from them lol. If you need measurements of the gear selector or anything else from the L140, let me know. Good Luck!

tough break, I hope you get it sorted.

Sam’s channel in a nutshell. Try to fix it. Can’t. Have a mechanic fix it in the end.

The tranny is working, and the levers are working for all gears but reverse, so looking from the bottom you would have to see why the reverse engagement gear is not moving to the right position. I can't imagine how difficult is to align it back, unless, an exploded view might reveal a bushing out of position. This is my calculated guess.

I gotta say brilliant segue to the commercial.

Hey Sam, I do enjoy your ventures into modern exotics. I have been on my own annoying journey with a 1948 Chev here in Australia. If you ever need a different torment, find an historic car that needs a lot of love to test your patience..... I would watch that......

Looks to me like the reverse selector is slightly offset. So if you have the front to back (e.g. 3rd to 4th) cable adjusted slightly closer the the 4th gear side, it'll hit the shoulder on the reverse selector.

I had an issue with my boat trans and it was hard to put it into reverse right from the factory....it ended up bending the lever on top of the trans on the stern drive. Mercruiser fixed it under warranty.When it was installed at the plant the cable wasn't installed properly. I didn't break anything, just bent the arm out of alignment slightly.....

Man, was I waiting for this episode

You maybe did actually it in deep enough.. but I remember feeling a strong sense of worry when I saw you put oil on the _outside_ of the first replacement seal before you installed it. That's probably what allowed it to creep out. On some seals I've even had to put retaining compound on the outside of the seal to make absolutely sure it doesn't come out. I feel bad for not commenting before you had it all back together. Glad you got at least that part sorted now!

"Whats the milage on it since rebuild?" "60" "Only 60 miles" "...eeeEEHHHTTTT" Excuse me? "60 feet"

The gearshift needs to be locked like a VW look up how to set a VW Golf shifter cables

Measure, draw and 3D print a simple tool that fits the flywheel bolts and pushes in the seal. Easy, cheap ans if yoy have a 3D printer, quick. Or have it printed somewhere. I did so for several car types already.

When putting in a full circle type rear main seal like that,you have to do the following procedures: 1. Clean the new seal with brake clean. 2. Clean the block surface 100% (no oil or grease) with brake clean. 3. Wipe a small (almost infinitesimal) on the seal crankshaft sealing area ONLY. 4. On the block sealing area coat with a very small amount of 3M yellow cement. (yellow snot). 5. Then drive the seal on very carefully, straight and into the block driven down to EVEN with the block surface.

When I fit oil seals like that I lube them with isopropyl alcohol so it’ll evaporate after fitting. And grease the inner lip.

I'd say the plunger on the switch for the Reverse Lights is locked up and not depressing, therefore not allowing it to go into reverse. This switch is screwed into the transmission case (at least it is on my well engineered Honda).

😂😂😂😂 35 secs into the upload and someone disliked it?

Where time is money and investing in a lift would be safer and ultimately cheaper in the long run. And also allow quicker safer access to allow you to fit things properly. 1.2m subscribers and too tight to spend $2k on a lift. Mental. Frustrating to watch really. 🙄

But at least he has to do the work the way the vast majority of his viewers would do it. I find it frustrating seeing jobs easily done with equipment I don't have. This channel is quite refreshing in this regard.

He literally has a brand new set of quick jacks he has had for months but refuses to take them out of the box and hook them up. So frustrating

So annoying when you have done it all once already and these mistakes do happen. The car sounds absolutely great, love the sound.

Good luck with it. Don't give up, there must be a reasonable solution somewhere
