Assuming fluid level is correct, at that stage in the UK, we'd replace the box - but spare parts from breakers are cheap here. i dont have a dedicated reader, but i checked with a reader from Würth, and it didnt read any fault codes, imma see on my closest auto shop that spesialize in opels and see what they have and if they can check for fault codes, but thats a 4h drive, about 250-300 ish km, so its not somthing i do any day, and espesialy not in the condition the car is in at the moment, its not in bad condition just atm need a anti roll bar link, and a new set of tyres edit: i checked for a gearbox that i can get my hands on, theres one for sale thats relativly close, its in a junkyard, but its also about a 5h drive, around 350-400km, but i honestly think id rather rebuild the transmition than buy a new one, yes its more difficult but a valuble lesson |

He is an inarticulate ignoramous, but his general direction of travel on most issues is the right one.

The Mondeo catastrophically failed it's MOT today.What's killed it? Rust? Actually that wasn't strictly true, it did fail, knackered front discs and rear arm bushes mainly, and advisories for corroded subframes front and rear, corroded rear arms, and corroded rear springs. He said the subframes had about a year in them. ![]() What's really done for it though, is a failing dual mass flywheel which accounts for the stiff gear change and vibrations. ![]() ![]() I was emotional when I posted the MOT fail! ![]() |

If you read the codes in the transmission, are you seeing a P0730 Incorrect Ratio? |

So i have an odd issue with the omega im tryna fix atm, i. Suspectic the torque converter have ruined the cluch packs
![]() So all gears work fine, but when i press the throtle to gain more speed when im alreaddy in about 60-80kmh it drops a gear or two, but doesnt gain speed, give alot of noice but no power to the wheel, so i suspect cluch pack 2-4 Its a 2002 opel omega with a 2.2L i4 petrol and the gm 4L30-E 4 speed auto transmission, i kinda wanna avoid swapping the transmition, but at the same time wuld love if it wasnt the cluch pack, though i doubt il be that lucky ![]() However if its the cluch packs there will be a complete gearbox rebuild |

Thing is the media focuses on individual words and phrases, not the whole context because it suits the narrative to treat Trump as a shouty buffoon. That whole press section was nearly 5 minutes, not a single sentence.Trump often says the quiet part out loud. |
