my auto box is playing up

its not changing in to the 2nd gear sometimes when i set off. i have to rev it then let it go then rev again or it will go right round to 7000 revs. its not all the time but mainly when i try to set off quickly.

please help!

Sounds like your box is fooked mate but heres a couple of shots in the dark!

 

Check the oil level and the colour, should be a red colour if remember right?

Remove and clean filter, if there are bits stuck to it then it is prob the synchro and its game over.

 

Worth a try mate! Mine did that and then went pop!

Also you can do the diagnostic on the autobox... have a search around the forum been talked about lots and lots.

 

Also try resetting the autobox ECU... (battery of for a few hours etc etc) another stab in the dark but it has help peopled in the past.

What happens when u drive it without your foot to the floor, does it change up and down gears as it could be the throttle position sensor causing errattic changes. Rather than foot to the floor try and drive it economically, it should change gear at lower revs, if u drive it with your foot to the floor then it will hold onto gears longer and if the throttle sensor is sending the wrong signals then the gearbox gearshifts will alter.

 

I am not sure if it will show up in the error memory as the gearbox is only changing gear in accordance with the throttle signal. Just because that signal is faulty doesnt mean an error will be logged.

yes it changes ok most of the time at low revs but not always
