gearbox

[The 3Ts]

Hi all i have done many searches on this problem with my gearbox and before i go out and buy another box i would like to confirm this is the problem.
When i put my foot down it drops a gear and the revs increase without any increase in speed just like clutch slipping
I have replaced the oil hoping this was the prob but it is still the same
is it time for another gearbox

Hi,

That is sometimes quite normal,depends on the speed you are doing?and how hard you put your foot down,some people call it kick down.

Cheers

the engine is reving very high not going as fast as it should in relation to the revs it use to rockitt off before and pull away quickly its slipping now im just kinder hoping there might be somthing i have missed other than replacing the the oil

Hi,

If it is not dropping a gear,then it does sound like it could be a slipping clutch.

Try giving Alacrity a shout,he is an auto-box specialist and a very nice man.

I know it sounds funny, but those are the symptoms I got with a partially blocked fuel filter - a new filter brought it all back to normal Certainly worth a few quid to try it

Thanks Fran i will try a new filter before buying the gear box and any other cheaper ideas first.

Don't forget to clean the little banjo filter as well. In fact, it might be worth trying that first, as it costs nothing
