Hi All i'm new to all this, but i have a problem with my autobox on my 3.0 mv6 1999, you will be driving along and suddenly start revving high with no movement and then clunk back into 3rd sometimes will get stuck in 3rd and throws a gearbox fault code on the dash, help please thanks

first thing to do is check the ATF level in the g/box

thats one of the faults mine suffers (along with others)

Im swapping my box out on Friday.

Fluid is clean and correct in mine, but that is the 1st thing to check.

youve now got me wondering if a low atf level would throw a warning up, mine has blown the bellhousing oil seal & emptied the box, but despite this i didnt get a warning on the MID, im wondering if your problem is just a g/box solenoid fault from 3-4 :-/ :-/

Thanks guys i will check the fluid levels first

atf and filter change seems to have cured same problem I was getting. Did not get fluid level right first time and problem recurred briefly. Rechecked and got it to correct level and touch wood no further problems.

There is a "how to" post on here somewhere.
