I think the fault messages cycle through when you switch the ignition so there shouldn't be any masked ones.

It might be worth having your fault codes read. When I had a problem with my gearbox, I was quite surprised at how much fault information was collected by the gearbox ECU. It even reported one of my valves sticking although that wasn't what was causing my problem.

hi thanks for that. the max speed 35mph comes up as soon as i put the key in! b4 she moves. there are no faults popn up on the dash. could there still be faults if she was pluged into? im in ireland now so not that ez to get her pluged in.

Yes, the dash messages are only indicators that there is something serious enough to warrant a visual warning. The ECUs will contain the detailed fault information.

Unfortunately, any fault codes may not help very much or lead you in the wrong direction. That's always the problem with these - £50 odd to get the faults read and anything it comes up with may have nothing to do with what's actually wrong!

if you have never stripped a auto box then dont even think about doing the clutches yourself.you will be in deep doo doo if you try it.

thanks. do you think its the clutches? could it be the valve body sticking?
