I did change the filter and gasket.

Hi I'm not too sure how much oil I changed .i used one of those hand pumps to fill the gearbox I think it holds 1 litre and I filled it four times but at the end there was a bit of oil left in it. So I guess 3 3/4 litres.:boom:

No I was on my own so I filled it then went through gears then stopped it and filled up again . I'm going to do another change using the correct procedure then see what happens.

Hi I'm going to do another oil change and see if there is any further improvement. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the advice.

When I changed oil it was a bit black but not like a regular oil colour. I changed the filter at the same time. It's better than it was before the oil change but still not right.

Sorry the problem is when the car is put into gear it takes a minute to decide to move.

Hi i have been quoted £450 + vat for rebuilding my box and£189 +vat for the torque converter but that doesn't include removal or refitting. if any one has any advice please feel free. thankyou

Today has been spent on my td5 and I've loved it. I have had a problem with my auto box not moving or changing as it should so today I changed the gear oil and filter ( with help from this forum ) and it seems to of improved . It goes as soon as you put it in gear and seems to change as it...

Thanks that's a comfort:)

Can't take the discovery she is poorly with a sick gearbox �� But at least it get to go ��

Hi thanks very much for the help with what oil. The reason I'm changing the oil is the auto box is playing up, when I put it in drive it can take 90 seconds or so to move . When it does move then the gears are very slow to change up I'm hoping that changing the oil will do the trick. When I...
