I'm affraid not due to lack of time, and spirit, I have not done anything. The car also runs well, every day, so I've just not got around to it.

Emmotts were unable to help out due to lack of hevacs. Any other good tips on breakers are welcome.

Regarding the oil I had the car on a lift and refilled following the procedure you mention with but I only managed to fill like 4-5 liters before it started to come out at. But it has crossed my mind to try to do it again. I read somewhere it´s better having to little oil than the other way...

I think it must be a worn bearing somewhere in the t/c or the shaft that the t/c drives. Is there a detailed sketch with part numbers available somewhere for the t/c and auto gearbox? Just need to build up confidence now to start taking the gearbox out, I guess. I plan to go with the method of...

Today I did à quick test with a hose in order to locate the grinding. Unfortunatly no luck. The sound is easy to hear inside the car but on the outside it drowns in all the noise from running engine. I did however find one more clue. I have a pretty steep angeled slope as drive way. The noise at...

I need a new knob for the hevac control unit. Anyone knows where to get a new one without paying £100 on a complete control unit (used)

Pardon my ignorance but does the compartment (bell housing?) where the torque converter is swim in ATF oil from the gearbox? Or how does the oil enter the TC? In this atached clip I found on youtube there is a walk-around of a ZF P38 gearbox and I think 1 minute in to the film they remove the...

As can be heard in the film clip the grinding noise comes after a few seconds. The explanation to that must be it's something that builds up speed compared to the engine that instantly has about 1000 rpm's at cold start. Therefor I think it must be after the flywheel since I belive that is...

Thanks for answers. I hope it is the transfer since it is easier to access. But, does it move while in stand still? Isn´t that connected to the shafts that obviously are still in P or N mode? What is the bell housing? Could be my limited knowledge in motor english.

It happens regardless of moving or standstill. In the video I cold start the engine for the day. 1. I´m in P (park) and just after a few seconds the noise come on following the rpm´s basically. Or the torque converters outgoing shaft to gearbox. 2. I shift to R (reverse) and noise is still...

Hello, I´m new here. I have searched but not found an explanation to my grinding noise from the gearbox area. I recorded a clip to illustrate and hopefully get advise on what this could be. The car P38 1999 4.6 HSE has 250 000 km on the clock and runs well with smooth shifts. Oil looks fine...
