Sounds more like a new gearbox to me unless it's low on oil.

Small leak over a long period of time equals big loss, a bit like losing a beloved moderator.



If you see Sid,BB, tell him...

Yes loss of fluid will reduce pressure, fix the leak top up the gearbox and your good to go.

I'm currently flushing my gearbox it's a v8 petrol tho.

Think outside, no box required.

Don't keep driving it, if it is slipping, you'll lunch the box...

I'd hazard you've done damage though already
