djg99 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi guys need some help. my gearbox has a slight problem, in that when i put it into drive it doesnt always start to move, i have to up the revs before it kicks it. I have the same problem in reverse. However while im driving the car the gearbox drops up and down in gears fine and is smooth. It only happens when i stop or start to move off! now i've used the searched button and had a read up. The oil level in the gearbox is fine. I've changed the throttle body the only other thing i was going to change was the sensors on the gearbox. Anything else i could try??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 May sound silly but have you checked you haven't got a seized brake caliper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Or it's low on oil. Be SURE you KNOW how to check an auto box oil level, a lot of people do it totally wrong with some disastrous consequences. Needs to be done with engine running at idle, in Park, after having briefly selected all other gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djg99 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Checked the breaks there all fine! Oil levels are ok as found the thread on how to check levels a few weeks back. Not a 100% sure where the filter is but worth a look a guess :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Worst case scenario mate, I have a TT auto box that you can have uber-cheap! It's just sitting in the shed taking up space, as I am never going to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossco Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've also sufferred the same problem. Although mine was limited to reverse. Mine has been fine since the fluid was topped up and I'd still check the fluid levels if I were you. It took a fair bit of fluid before the level started to change on the dip stick.
