O ring on gearbox strainer can someone tell me if the o ring goes on the top part of the tube or in the recess just below

iirc it goes into the block and the filter pushers up into it...best double check.

Thanks bud

Ok so ive re done everything I did last fortnight hoping I would find something thats causing the problem.... first off I wasn't sure where I had put the o-ring on the strainer as it basically fell off as I removed it. But worked out it just slips onto the top of the pipe.. second thing was I checked the electric connectors one clicked in as I pressed it which made me think that may have been the cause. Placed new o ring on and put all back to together .. topped up according to a online guide.. shift through gears while being filled. 3.5 liters. Then took it for a drive to my disappointment its exactly the same :( my mechanic friend who was with me was also baffled.

 

Im starting to think now it may have been something ive done while spraying all the connections with electrical contact cleaner..... but ive checked them over again and they all seem fine. The only reason I cleaned them was cos ive had a leak down there and did find a couple of corroded connections.

 

During driving going dowm hill in drive which is still stuck in 2nd doing about 35-40 the car seems to have no pressure on the engine but when I shift it to 2nd its almost like dropping it down a gear if you can understand what im saying. Plus if I hold the car around 3000 rpm in second you can feel it hesitating -- trying to shift to 3rd.

 

So do I need a new gearbox? If so has anyone got one for sale just incase I cant work this out.
