[Taxi_Driver]

Sounds like fubared autobox  

[TheBoy]

Does it drive manually?

Have to driving it for long with it slipping badly?

[bobbertbear]

i got it like that,doesnt drive manualy,if you go thru the gears it gets to 2nd then just wont go to 3rd

[MutantCav]

Does sound like its the box but what about gearbox selector???

[bobbertbear]

if its the box am just gonna break the car,its a p reg but mot till oct,taxed till end of the month,got it cheap from a workmate,i'll put the gas on one of ma other migs.

[TheBoy]

Check selector switch lights up right, else suspect the box is fubar.

[bobbertbear]

it does light up right,but when i went to put fluid in,the fluid that was in there was kinda discoloured,nearly black

[Marie]

not good i would try a complete fluid change personally. have you taken both sumps off to see if there is nothing nasty hinding inside?

[bobbertbear]

to be honest,i didnt want to spend a lot of time on it,if it was something simple i would have fixed it but looking like terminal so think i'll just break the car,so if anyone needs anything.

why dont you drop a replacement box in it. looking about £150 to do that your sure to get more for her then if you sell her.

i picked up a second hand box £80 oil £40 and seal&filter £40. and a days work with two people. its not that hard to do just manual labour and big arm muscles required.

[bobbertbear]

dont really need to fix her tho as we have 4 other migs already,so can afford to break her

[bobbertbear]

can anyone help with where to get the filter and gaskets to do a service on the autobox,i went to dealer an was quoted £58 for the filter an £15 for the 2 gaskets,surely someone does them cheaper,and would post them to north of scotland?

[Marie]

Jpat £40 for the both gaskets and the filter and post next day del.
