    '95 - autobox issues - no/intermitent engagement

    Gd point. Why would that click after a while though not straight away... UPDATE: I drove it today until the clicking started, pulled over and got a long crow bar out. I then opened the bonnet, took a deep breath and then gently placed one of the ends on various parts of the engine. The...

    '95 - autobox issues - no/intermitent engagement

    Could the clicking noise and loss of drive be 2 separate syntoms? Since I filled up the tranny box with oil it hasn't lost drive since. But the clicking noise keeps coming back. I've checked all the fluids I'm aware off (this is my 1st 4wd and auto car). So steering fluid (maybe a touch...

    '95 - autobox issues - no/intermitent engagement

    Ive quite succsefully unseized my lever already. Crawled under, located the shifter, few taps with a small hammer on the side of the pivot and a dose of 'Duck Oil' by swarfega and its nice and loose now and seems to be working perfectly. My POA now is drop the sump, change the filter and refill...

    '95 - autobox issues - no/intermitent engagement

    sounds like a good plan. The thing seems to be taking alot of oil so im still hoping its my original plan of just low oil, low pressure and the pump is the RPM associated clicking noise catching air. Its taken 1/2 a litre now. it seems to be at the correct level, i run it till it clicks, turn...

    '95 - autobox issues - no/intermitent engagement

    brown :( and maybe a hint of burning but nothing to bad ? From what ive read - the clutch packs would constantly mean no drive? I could go and get in my car now and drive 1/2 a mile before it started acting up again. What is the clicking noise in that case ?

    That sounds expensive :( - How do i start fault finding down that route ? Yer I tried to select low. Gave a decent firm push on the H/L knob and it moved about 1/3 way between H > N and wouldnt go any further. It now moves freely (ish) that 1/3 or the way And i dont have a handbook. What will...

    '95 - autobox issues - no/intermitent engagement

    Just checked my transmission level dip stick. The car is up on ramps but reversed up a hill so its near flat but the front is still slightly higher than the back. With the engine running, nearly cold, and autobox in "N" the oil is below the 1st hole ? 1- is this correct or incorrect? Where...
