When you say it slips out of gear?
Hi new owner,
When you say it slips out of gear, when does this happen? When you first set off or when you are changing gears/on the move for a while? And when you say out off gear does it slip into 'Neutral' or slips into a lower gear?

as i put it in drive i get to about 25 30 mph n it jus wont get any faster n makes a noise like on a manual car wen its not in gear.
Interesting I haven't come
Interesting I haven't come across that problem before. Have you tried manually selecting the gears with either the 'Steershift' function or using the auto gear selector? I am under the impression that the YRV turbo has a seperate set of electrics on the gear box that tells the main cars brain (ECU) that it needs to change gear. Failling that I am wondering for some reason the car is in limp home mode and there is a problem with one of your sensors causing this option to kick in, is the engine light showing on the dash? I am very surprised the Daihatsu dealership hasn't plugged the car into the diagnostics computer they have to see if any error codes come up.
The only other thing I can think of is that the box itself is broken. A long shot would be to see if there is any auto box fluid left, to do this there is a dip stick in the engine bay located back right (Shown in the owners manual, if you pull this out (like the oil dipstick) you should see a red substance showing.

Sorry to interrupt
Did the D light indicator blink when the problem occur?
By the way how did you check? Using diagnosis system or manual diagnosis

You didn't buy this car off a guy called 'Roy' by chance? The Lambda could have been the catalyst, a lot of people who have had the exhaust replaced with aftermarket or straight through have had issues here.

yrv turbo slippin out gear
hiya sorry its been a while the problem ended up bein there was a snap on the 3rd gear or somethin like that lol in the gear box 3rd gear was snapped in 2. its took 4 weeks to get sorted an a lot of money. thanks 4 all ur help on this 1. x
3rd gear snapped! Ummmm... I
3rd gear snapped! Ummmm... I wonder how that could have happened? Did the garage indicate how this may have been caused? Was there too little autobox fluid? Just curious as it would indicate there could be a bigger issue that Daihatsu are covering up.

mmmmm.........
I read somewhere, maybe on here, about a drum shearing off in the box. I wonder if this is the same thing. I remember reading it snapped on the weld or something. At least you got it sorted. I think it's the one thing turbo owners fear, the damn box giving up. I wonder how these failed gearboxes have been driven, have they had the living **** thrashed out of them and from cold? Mine had a lady owner then a 91 year old man, so i'm hoping it's not been abused! I ALWAYS let mine fully warm up before I open it up, and even then I just drive it normally most of the time.

yes it was a clean break on
yes it was a clean break on the weld somaybe like i say the manafold has also gone bit of bad luck but hey am not givin up on her jus yet.
Thanks for the update
Sounds like you're having a run of bad luck. Hopefully once you sort the manifold out it'll be sweet as a nut. Has the maifold rusted away? Mine's very rusty where water runs onto it from the bonnnet scoop (common problem/crap design)
I have read somewhere (cant think where, maybe on here, can't find it) that another owner had a drum shear off on the factory weld, think that was 3rd gear related too.
I've had the famous D4 light flashing recently, not sure what the problem is yet. I hope you have no more problems. Again, keep us updated!

If the fluid is at the
If the fluid is at the correct level, of the correct type, and is in good condition i would say it is the clutches slipping.
These will slip if they are worn or the brake bands are not working correctly because of insufficient hydraulic pressure. The best indication is the colour of the fluid, and how quickly it changes colour.
If it is bright cherry red it is fine.
If it is going from a bright cherry red to dull red or brown it needs replacing.
If it is black it is a sure sign the clutches are slipping, or the brake bands are shot.
If it is replaced and turns brown very quickly, and then black quickly it is a reconditioned gearbox which is needed. One old trick is for a seller to replace the fluid just before a test drive, it appears to be in good condition, but is not. When they do this they use the cheapest rubbish they can find, often it is not the right ATF for that model.
If all else fails have it in to an auto transmission specialist who can diagnose the problem, and possibly repair it.
