Title: auto gearbox
Post by: raywilb on 15 May 2014, 14:26:42

if an auto gearbox only goes into reverse when cold (all other gears are fine) but not once hot. is it a gearbox problem or a sensor. car in question is a 2.5 T.D

as other gears are ok, would have thought that has been checked. I,m actually 200mls away from the said vehicle ,but thinking of making a bid.  :-\

Reverse does tend to suffer first if the fluid is low. Doesn't mean it's not a more serious gearbox problem, though.
