Title: 1996 2 litre Autobox Issue
Post by: Tony_1985 on 08 January 2009, 00:13:20
I have searched for this and came back with no results


I have an issue with the auto box on my 1996 Omega 2.0

Every now and then, when i put the box into Drive the car will try to pull away as normal with the brake on, but it seems to bounce causing the car to almost stall everytime it tries to pull away

It repeats this until i actually let the brake off, then struggles to accelerate

Not sure if its a problem with the box or just the selector switch

I hope I have worded it correctly

Can someone shed some light on what's making the car do this?

By 'bounce' do you mean the engine revs fall then rise again to compensate?

Yeah, but the car seems to do a rocking motion when its in Drive at stand still

I know this isnt normal as I have driven quite a few Autos

unsure of this as i have only had the car for 3 weeks

think i will do this anyway, the gaskets for them are pennies

will update tomorrow when i have done it


also with it being an N reg, and it's been sat for a while before i bought. It may benefit from an gearbox fluid change
So will also go down that route

well the good old dealers being what they are, haven't got the parts i need in stock

so this is on hold until monday now as i had to get them to order the parts in for me

going to do this oil catch/fly trap mod as well, just to see if it helps
