Gearbox fault (auto box)

tarphenry · Mar 10, 2015

Just popped out in the car,as I turned the ignition on, gearbox fault lit up on dash and car was very slow to pull away,as if in 2nd and slipping clutch.Got home and stuck it on Nanocom but no faults shown. Have put battery on charge,any ideas gents? thanks

Mine's got all sorts of electrical funnies going on at the moment.

It did exactly the same to me a little while ago (ironically on the way back from the garage) and not helped by a new misfire.

It was fine the next time I used it after a battery charge. Is yours ongoing or was it a one off?

Definitely worth checking your gearbox fluid level.
When was the fluid and filter last changed?
It's a simple but slightly mucky job (well it is whenever I do it) but just like an engine new oil is always better than old oil.

Low battery volts is a common cause, check your alternator is charging correctly.

This morning. took the car out and it behaved perfectly, so as soon as the weather pics up I will do a filter and oil change. Thanks for the suggestions
