So i have an odd issue with the omega im tryna fix atm, i. Suspectic the torque converter have ruined the cluch packs . but id love some help and if somone has had this issue before.
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

Assuming fluid level is correct, at that stage in the UK, we'd replace the box - but spare parts from breakers are cheap here.

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

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

So i checked with a cuppe mates if mine, including an opel mechanic, and most likely its the torque converter, and posebly a burned cluch pack or 3 so eighter its swapping the gearbox and the torque converter, or its rebuilding the one i have, wich is easier said than done

The torque converters tend not to fail on Omegas. Not really anything to fail in them, assuming fluid level is correct.

The clutches do fail, particularly in the AR25.  As said earlier, as we can get the gearboxes quite cheap in the UK, we just replace it with on from scrapyard.

You have checked fluid level?  Although if've your had a lot of slip already, the clutches are shot.
