gilloverland Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 thought I would list the sympoms here and to see if anyone recognised them...First thing I noticed last Thursday was a tiny bit of a judder when parking at low speed but then it went away and didn't come back (or at least I didn't notice it).Then Friday afternoon whilst driving along I stopped at a set of traffic lights and when starting again it took a lot of rev's (like clutch slip on a manual) As it got rolling it seemed to changed up a couple of gears and I managed to turn around and get home (it was only half a mile).At idle there is a noticeable 'chatter' from the transmission area.I've had a good look underneath (though haven't had time to remove the inspection plate) and there is no evidence of a fluid leak.This morning I started it up and tried it in D and R (transmission cold) and it wanted to move off in either direction at tick over, it would not do this on Friday after the initial failure.Has anyone experienced this before, at first I thought it was either a fluid leak or a clutch pack gone but the fact that it wants to move off when cold (along with the rattle / chatter) has got me thinking its a broken flex plate which when cold is somehow giving more drive?I think I have sourced a second hand gearbox but I because of my shifts I am unable to collect it until after xmas.Ashcrofts said they couldn't supply one until after the 9th of January!Any ideas?

rrr47 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 When was the autobox oil last changed? May be the torque converter as well, they don't last for ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
