Dave has an idea... but it would need your buy in.

I'm not even comfortable asking.. you may want to discuss with him  ::) ::)

it is almost impossible for two items on the same piece of equipment to fail at exactly the same time,therefore  i would suggest that the thrust washer failed first the hydraulics of the box cannot control 3mm of slop when there should be .2mm.when i purchased recently a sonnax thrust washer kit  i had in the packet 2 thrust washers,so im am saying to you is there any way you can get your butt to trowbridge with said gearbox(the pump will reouire m/c)and i will replace said washer in approx 1 1/2 hours.there is a  catch however i need something doing as well  i have got a 3 litre omega sat here that will not start,savvi

It'll be one of the bands or associated clutches - the AR25 simply cannot handle a bootful of 3.0l power...

It can, but the AR35 copes better.

Gearbox sourced, fetched, dumped in Laidbacks boot and on its way in the morning. Jaime, yours is in there too.

Call me WHEN you get stuck, especially wioth converting the AR25 bellhousing over. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS VERY CLEAN WHEN YOU SPLIT THE BELLHOUSING OFF. Do NOT get grit, dirt or laidbacks inside that box!

I have intermittent problems with my autobox, you sound like you them alot better than I do and you are less than an hour away from me!

Symptomns - Occasionally slips (esp around 30mph and almost always when booting it and then leveling at 30mph) if I leave it I get a thump and then the limp home mode.  If I change down to 3 when it slips and take off the throttle I get a smaller thump and I can change back upto D without consequence.

I changed the ATF and cleaned the filter a few months ago found 2 quarters of the dredded thrust washer in the intermittent sump.  I am looking for a new box but if you have any ideas I could have a look at your 3.0.  I know much more about engines than gearboxes, savvy? ;)

Alternatively pop down to the Tidworth cam belt/ autobox party at the end of the month - your expertese would be appreciated :D

Interestingly,  you can get an uprated washer from the US to give a long term fix to this problem.

Apparantly its due to the nylon one overheating, details here:

I realy need to disect one of these failed units.

When I get a replacement for mine and I am satisfied it is working I will be having a go too.

I feel confident having a go at just about any job but gearboxes so I would like to learn.

Anyone have any publications which would help?  The book of lies ducked out of this one  ::)

4L30E manuals are easy to get off the web...

Also a certain Vx tech tool has the details as well
