I might sound a bit slow now, but which selector switch ? gear selector on auto-box ?

Thanks! 
I could never even try to emulate the link master 

[Phil H.]

Thank you !  looks a bugger to get to! if this is faulty what sort of price for replacement ?

[TheBoy]

The smell worries me...  ...burnt ATF?

[Phil H.]

Not sure, no signs of leaks and it's only done 60,000. Gears aren't slipping, although when on A1 doing "a bit more than speed limit" a week ago it jumped out of sport mode. [smiley=sad.gif]

[Phil H.]

Had to take it in today. ATF fried, mesh filter clogged and part of clutch plate busted, bits found in sump mechanic getting a price now from clutch/gearbox firm in peterborough

[TheBoy]

the bits you found, bits of thrush washer?

[Phil H.]

don't know, didn't see for myself, was just described as parts of clutch plate. keep seeing 'thrust washer' complaints, sounds quite a common and troublesome issue 

[Phil H.]

going to pick it up now. mechanic has changed gearbox oil (he said it was like water!), cleaned sump and mesh filter out. gearbox specialist quoted 2 grand for recon!! stuff that !! he's took it for short run, says no noise nor smell yet. now i've got a big decision to make - trade in, try to get cash for parts then scrap rest or just scrap

Thrust washer, just as TheBoy suggested 

[RobG]

Before having fluid/filter done why didn`t you get thrust washer replaced. Seems false economy unless you`re scrapping it or selling it on with that known fault

[Phil H.]

Didn't know that was the problem - i'm not very mechanically minded and with the aformentioned hernia i wasn't in the positon to delve into it myself. all i had was the symptoms as described. now in a quandry what to do for the best
