Hey, my automatic gearbox has been grinding in reverse for a while now, it also jolts quite rough when shifting gears and when driving it for 5+ hours without breaks it gives gearbox fault beep and goes into limp mode. We've filled it up with oil, when I bought the car there was 2 liters of oil missing for some reason. It's full of oil now, we checked multiple times. There's a small handbrake oil seal leak that I'll change, but after topping it off, it hasn't leaked for 5000+km. Could it just be needing a proper oil change? Going to a specialist soon to get it looked at, but kind of dreading if it might be an internal problem within the gearbox..

Has anyone had similar symptoms before?

Did you use the correct filling procedure? Engine and transmission cold, engine idling, move through all gears & back to neutral, top up until fluid just dribbles out of the filler plug or, if you have a dipstick is at the correct level on the stick.
Any oil in the transfer box?

I think I will replace the gearbox oil altogether and change the filter to see if the sound and jerking gets better. Does anyone have a recommendation for the oil? Thanks!
