Hi all, I hope you are all keeping well.
I'm having an issue with my auto gearbox on my 2001 td5, has 219,000 miles on the clock.
The gearbox was replaced a few months ago with a 2nd hand unit with 100,000 miles on it. All going well though the torque converter only locks sporadically and only first thing in the morning when cold. ( to add it never locked up with the old gearbox in)
The oil and filter was changed when the gearbox was installed and twice since then to make sure all is clean etc.
Changed the transmission oil temp switch which was suggested but hasn't made any difference to the lockup.
While changing the switch I lost very little oil and it wasn't flowing out as others had suggested it would when the switch was removed.
Believing the oil cooler could have been partially blocked from the gunk from the previous gearbox, I replaced with a new oil cooler. Changed oil to correct level etc.
Took her for a test drive and torque converter locked up and work 4/5 times on the run.
Since then it is back to locking up sporadically.
Any help/ ideas at this point would be greatly received.
Apologies for the long post.
TIA
