gearbox problem
« on: 13 November 2012, 11:31:03 »
Hi Guys,
         The car drives perfect except for the gearbox,when driving it only holds 3 gear for a short time before changing,when you get to a hill it will change into 2nd pick up speed change into 3rd and virtually straight away change into 4th,because we are still going up the hill it`s too high a gear so it changes down to 3rd and then straight to 2nd.
I then have to hold 2nd to stop it changing too often.Any idea`s.

Hi and Welcome  :)

Firstly, best to ask such questions in "Omega General Help" as more of "them that know" read there than here.

Trouble changing gear in the auto can often be caused by low fluid, first thing to do is to check the level PROPERLY.

This link :  http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90508.0

tells you how ..it is MOST important that the gearbox is warm, level AND ENGINE RUNNING WITH PARK SELECTED, any other combination will give a false reading, and usually ends up with too little fluid in the box.

It's by far the cheapest "fix" and even if it is NOT the fix .. it rules out low fluid as the cause.

HTH  :)
