Hi
I have a P38 4.0 auto and today the gearbox began playing up.
There was initially a slight grinding noise which sounded like it was coming from the passenger side, but then seemed to be coming from under the gear lever itself. It pulled away then power started dropping and the revs increased with no progress. I stopped and tried again and off it went, then the same thing happened, power dropped and revs increased as I kept my foot down. Sometimes it would pull away from a standing start, sometimes it wouldn't, but if it did, it would only be 50ft or so before it happened again.
I've checked the gearbox oil and thats fine, clean looking too.
Whats the best and worst case scenario here? I know these things are expensive to run but this couldn't have come at a worse time having been made redundant last week.
Thanks in advance.
