Holden Astra 2008 FAQs

2008 Holden Astra only driving in Reverse

You might be lucky and simply have a low transmission fluid level thanks to a leak, or perhaps even a selector that is not properly connected to the transmission.

But the fact that the transmission works in Reverse but not Drive suggests something internally wrong. You could be looking at a broken torque converter, failed clutch or band, a faulty pump, blocked valve body or even a broken gear set. A transmission specialist is going to be your best bet here.

Gear selector problems with a 2008 Holden Astra CDX

Rather than an internal transmission problem, this is probably a simple case of loose fittings where the selector meets the gearbox or even where the selector pivots inside the centre-console. The moving parts inside this mechanism can wear over time and lead to sloppiness in the shift lever itself. You can remove the centre-console panels and see for yourself if there’s excess play or movement in the connections. The fix might be new bushes or guides, but it shouldn’t be a huge job.

Holden Astra 2008: Can it use an alternator from an '06 model?

You probably could, but before you commit I would line them up to make sure the 2006 alternator would fit the later model. If they do, and I expect they will, you should be okay.
