Hi - New member here - looking for some advice.
I have a 2001 TD4 Dieso AUTO 129K miles- The body is in great condition and I've just had the 2 drive shafts and the VC replaced plus the IRD box, (the rear diff was done too) and when the transmission started playing up by reverse refusing to connect, I had the whole gear box unit and the torque converter replaced by a reputable 4X4 specialist. After driving the vehicle home I garaged it for the night.
Next morning (when cold) the car chugged off but at each gear change - particularly between 2 and 3 the revs shot up during a delay in the next gear picking up. This has happened on 3 mornings now and after about 5 miles the box warms up and behaves normally. This morning however it crawled out of the garage in 'D' and had to be given a good 50 yards to pick up enough drive to change gears and get going. After it is properly warm the gears seem to change OK but there is a whine from the gearbox (related to the final drive speed) sounds like a jockey wheel as it comes and goes with the drive being on or off? So it's back to the specialist but what could it be - the whole unit was replaced so has something been missed? Help - I'm running out of patience and funds (but that's probably part of the 'fun' in owning one of these beasts!
Any pointers anyone?
Thanks
Mike
