.....and having first run it through all the gears holding it in each one for a coupla seconds. (Official way for D2 gearbox, I've had to do this v often in the past 2 years until the fault was recently corrected.)First thing to do with any autobox problem is check fluid level.
Older cars may have a dipstick, usually up against the bulkhead. Newer cars you might need to get to the filler plug on the side of the box.
You need to check the level with the car on the flat, the car at operating temp and the engine running.

The 6hp26s has to have the oil at around 45c to get an accurate reading.From memory most boxes spec a max and min oil temp for checking. My 6hp26 has a fill plug/check plug so i assumed they all did
With the auto gearboxes that i’ve done a fluid check the dip stick has graduation, so yes from low to max with something in between much like a dipping for engine oil level.From memory most boxes spec a max and min oil temp for checking. My 6hp26 has a fill plug/check plug so i assumed they all did
