Gearbox trouble

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sun Jun 24, 07 4:38 pm

Been out in the car today and when you get to about 70-80 and then back off, the gearbox starts to slip when you get back on the power

I only noticed as some plonker pulled infront of me

Low fluid level...more noticeable at speed
You did check it hot idling in park ?? sorry to state the obvious but its been known.
Bands need adjusting ??

Checked fluid, all seems OK

You need to adjust the bands next.

Also unless you are using a manual valve body you need to use and adjust the kick down lever because that can cause slipping.

If it still slips you have a problem with pressure (poss. worn pump) or just worn internal seals etc. All easily repaired with a rebuild kit.

Got the box sorted was low on oil

Thought my dipstick was a bit dodgey so asked a mate if I could try his and low and behold the actual tube is just short of an inch smaller

Good stuff, i know the feeling i felt a bit sick when mine started slipping, i knew it wasnt going to be straight forward, just my luck

Hopefully sorted now though
