Title: Gearbox on cossie
Post by the_machine on Dec 22^nd, 2007, 4:55pm

sometimes, mainly under load or acceleration, when changing into the final gear (auto box) the car thuds into gear. alos it will drop out of overdrive i.e change down IF you are accelerating , as soon as you go light on the gas it clicks back in to overdrive. its as though whenever under load it drops out.

only happens 1 in 5 journeys.
changed MAf for second hand one, no difference. unless that maf was duff as well!

DISCONNECTED maf no difference

gearbox man said something to do with too much pressure in the box? im not sure

just wondered if anyone has had this fault themselves

2.9 cossie auto 150K miles

hi i have a 2.3 auto it does the same at times it behaves perfectly when its cold but as soon as the box heats up the gremins get in i have cleaned the maf it was filthy .i spoke to a local mechanic about the box he said the fluid and the filter meed changing as turbine whine is heard as you pull away in first and the pump is trying to pump thinned fluid around so i,m having that done this week
