Cheers mate :y but sounds compicated lol. Is there not like a clear bubble thing im looking into
-
Also if oil was low would that muck up the other gears or not. This is first time ive had probs with an auto. :-(
-
Yes low oil would cause gearing problems, no bubble or dip stick to check, as per guide :)

Top man thank you mate. Hopefully that might solve the prob. The garage said it was fine because it drives through the other fine

Main problem removing/refitting auto box its weight - its very heavy and ideally a helper + a good strong trolley jack is required. Remember to remove torque convertor with box - do not leave on engine!!

Yep cool no worries :y cheers mate ive got 2 helpers on hand and a 10 ton trolly jack ;-). Hopefully topping it up might solve the prob but if not it will be a new box are they hard to do and were abouts is the torque converter located on the box many thanks

just make sure that you get the torque converter that cam with the transmission you use. Manufacturers have a habit of changing the TC internals without changing the part number.

Don't forget that the level check is with the engine running.
