Hi All I have a 2004 TD6 3 liter and I have no drive! Well when I start it from cold it will do 10 feet backwards and 5 feet forwards and then nothing. Before loosing all the drive it was holding on to the gear for longer than normal. Oh I have had a "Mega Flush" done on it as the gearbox oil was really really dirty and its been fine for 3 weeks but now this anybody any ideas (that doesn't involve a match)

Rebuild time..

"dirty oil" was more than likely clutch material, slipping when hot is a different issue when cold, the reason it works only when cold is the transmission fluid expands when it heats up it causes it to become thinner. Automatic transmissions rely on a pressurised components that maintain their pressure through a of seals and valvebody solenoids. When the seals start to wear in the solenoids, transmission fluid can escape, lowering the pressure causing it to slip clutches

Unfortunately, when this happens, there’s not much to be done below a complete rebuild

if you drop the sump it is more than likely full of shyte.
