checking fluid level is always the first thing to do with an auto,if that improves things to a degree its then usually a good idea to change the fluid and filters.mine wasmisbehaving a bit recently,i topped the fluid up to the correct level (took about half a litre) it seems  ok now.but i will probably do a fluid/filter change in the near future.

You should be careful of this, could very well damage the auto box oil seal.   :'(  :'(  :'(

Sorted....:):)
Took the sumps off and found a peice of oil pump shim.
Phoned my local Tramsmission specialist and they wanted £1200 to recondition it.

Looked on Ebay and there was a AR35 from a 2000 MV6 for sale. After a trip to reading and £50 lighter (I would have brought his arm home after i'd ripped it off at that price). Took my box out only to find that it was an AR25. Previous owner had the box replaced  and the wrong box had been used. It's completly burnt out. Now after 8 ltf of ATF it runs like a dream and changes through all 4 gears.

Thanks to all for your input.
