Hi i got a problem with my gearbox .i read a post in here seeme dto have same problems now cant find it.

after a run on sunday i stopped and hen went off again it woulnt change up stuck in first sometimes get into second. i checked oil seemed low so topped it up tonight took for run to start with seemed ok but now doing same again any ideas.

Has the level dropped again? It could simply be a leak?

as ste says check the oil level,make sure you check it when its up to temp,with the engine running,and in park.check the colour, and does it smell like burnt toast.

I'd recommend a transmission fluid flush/change and filter clean, its surprising how much difference it can make to the way the car drives.

Oil level cannot effect gear change points as the transmission is electronically shifted. So whilst checking its condition & looking for a burnt smell is worthwhile, changing the oil to cure this problem is pure folly.

There may be a problem with the TPS or a speed sensor on the trans. More likely the former. Is the engine running right & delivering full power? If the engine is down on power the transmission will change late, if the engine is very down on power you will not be able to get the gearbox to change gear without backing off the throttle. Very common. Is the hold light flashing (if indeed the hold light works).

Similar thoughts to Alacrity.........................although a TPS fault won't always show up as a HOLD light flashing. Would be a good idea to interrogate the ECU - info in the fact sheets

thanks all for advice iam going to give it a full service and do a transmission clean and new oil to and try to get fault codes my initial thoughts was the tps but will give connections a clean etc pefore i repalce it.

wait till sat and get it over the pit i think i would drown in the drive tonight lol

hi finaly got round to it all ok new oil in gearbox and fuel filter i now have a flashing hold light after i fitted new tps have i moved something in fitting iam getting to error codes one is 12 and the other 16

its pulling like a train it changes up 1 2 wo like small changes then big change up to top i think but no kick down its doing about 70 at 2.5 to 3 housand 3pm not sure if thats right

so waht do you think guys just me clumsy fitting of new bit
