Would be ideal on a proper ramp, it needs doing before it gets any worse. I don't want to folk out for a new gear box.

No access to ramps so would be happy to pay someone to do it.

Couldn't the friendly mechanic who only charges trade help?

Always helps having a friendly mechanic who will let you go under the ramp and who only ever charges me trade price for some reason.

Yeah he will have a look, just making sure I know it all first lol.

That sounds like your solenoids inside the gearbox giving up. Happened to me about two months ago on my AR35. We changed all the solenoids, a good fluid change and it is a good as new

Any pictures of where these are and how much?

I will get the autobox oil change if anyone fancies doing it on here, obviously I will travel from Manchester and pay cash.

Will do the oil change, solenoids and something else someone said.

Its a sump off job. Have a look here - - > http://images.omegaowners.com/downloads/Autobox_Docs/4L30E_Article.pdf

You want Figure 2 parts #307 #303 and #323

If a breaker on OOF doesn't have any then these guys can help you with the solenoids http://www.belvoirtransmission.co.uk/

thanks for that, the boy suggested a new gear box if the solenoids are playing up, I don't know if they are though it is just what other forum members have said.

My bets are on just an oil change to which I have asked if  a forum member will do it and I will pay cash, travel there etc.

By 'new' I meant 'new to the car', ie a known good 2nd hand one.

Personally, on a V6, I'd take the hit and change the ATF, and if that didn't cure, pop on a 'new' (to the car) box.

If you want to do it on the cheap, 2 cans of Comma Dex3 from Hellfrauds, and some instance gasket.  The filter can be cleaned.

Oh, and bits of plastic in the front sump is a bad sign

Ideally I would like for someone to do it cheap but on the other hand I would like a proper job and know it will last (not a bodged job).

I had a similar bang when going round corners and it was changing down or up, changed the ATF and it has been a dream since similar miles on mine too!

TBH you couldn't pay me enough to do this job again especially without a decent ramp, not too hard just unbelievably messy
