Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

Is my 2.6L 94 TS Wagon still worth replacing the motor?

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help me with an ongoing issue I am having with my 95' TS SE 4cly EFI. When the engine bay heats up, I am getting large amounts of vibration and a loss of power which I (in my limited knowledge) believe is the engine missing. Relevant info: -Checked spark...

I have a 94 ts that has developed an issue over time. For a few months now it would occasionally seem to jump out of 4th gear and just rev till the revs dropped down to idle speed then it would jolt and pick up 4th again. Over the weekend it did this again but would not pick up 4th at all and I...

G'day guys, in the last couple of days my ts2.6 auto has been misbehaving. At 100kmh the torque converter has been unlocking when under light load for no reason. Goes between locking and unlocking 6 or so times then back to normal. Goes 5-15mins before happening again. What I'd like to know,...

Dunno whether this is worthwhile posting or not, but thought I'd let it be known as it might help someone. My TS 3 ltr manual was missing under load, but only when hot. I checked all the usual suspects, distributor cap, plugs and leads, air filter, fuel filter .... could not fault the thing. I...

Hi Guys I recently lost some files in a computer crash and my workshop TS Magna repair manual in PDF format that I originally downloaded off this site was one of my losses. I cannot find this file any where. Would appreciate help.:(

If anyone has more of these classics ads let me know cheers JT

Hello team, my 3 ltr V6 puffs steam out of the exhaust. It uses a bit of water, but not excessive. There is no water in the oil, nor oil in the water. I have not removed the spark plugs yet to see which cylinder is taking water, but I know it's only a matter of time before it will become a serious...

Hi, The system that beeps when you go over a set spped keeps resetting to 60 klms. Would appreciate any ideas.

Where is the Engine oil sump plug located? and correct oil filter change procedure.

Hi My '94 Magna 2.6L 4cyl is blowing smoke and using a bit of oil. Thought it could be valve stem seals as they are apparently notorious for hardening and causing oil to leak down valve stems. Any way it might be rings so I want to do a compression test. The manual says to disconnect the coil...

Hey, i just brought a TS and the muffler has a massive leak so i was wondering if a TL VRX muffler will bolt straight on?

Hey guys, Was driving home from work two weeks ago and my TS started making a loud banging sound (metal on metal), coming from under the engine. This disappeared when the vehicle shifted up into a higher gear. The car has been sluggish in low gear for about the six months or so. I haven't driven...

Hi guys, I recently got home to find smoke pouring from front left wheel arch. The wheel was hot enough to fry an egg. when it cooled down i took the wheel off and saw this; ...

I normally don't need to join discussions on this forum because I always find what I need thanks to all contributors to this forum. At the moment I need to adjust the kickdown band on my TR magna but there is a special tool (E23M13-1) required to hold the servo piston from rotating. Where to get...

Recently I experienced first hand a rather common failure for the Magna TR/TS. While heading home from class, we started to smell an unusual burning smell in the cabin, followed by some erratic behaviour from the automatic transmission. After 22 years or 240,000 kilometres, the Transaxle...

Hi all :) My partner's '95 Magna - which we bought a year ago for $1,000 - has a few issues. The newest, most pressing is that after it's been running for a while then shut down, it has trouble idling. The idle itself is smooth - not missing any cylinders, etc. I'm guessing it might be that...
