Greetings friends, Whilst out in the Rover yesterday, the gearbox wasnt happy changing up and refused to change up from 4th to top. When i got home I checked the autobox dipstick and found that it was DRY!!!. Not good. I've put about 4 l in it today and noe its changing up fine. Question is, is this down to use (98K on the clock) or is there a problem with the box. Unforgiveably, Ive not checked it for about 9 months. The trucks a 1996 3.9V8 classic.
Any thoughts appreciated.
 
yes am worried its a leak but to be fair i havent seen any evidence on the drive. If it is a leak, any idea the most likely location on the box?

Might come to that. Am gettin the greasemonkey to cast an eye over it next week. if its fcucked how many shekels ya wantin for the stick shift?
 
Well, much relief here at Fatrover Towers, have discovered the leak is coming form a wee hole in the pipe that goes from the autobox to the oil cooler on front of the rad. So it looks like a replacement pipe and alls well......
 
Yes, my thoughts exactly. The monkeys havin a look at it so am a wee bit worried that there might be hidden dramas... fingers crossed fer the next few days.!!
