T14PPA Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My auto gearbox dipstick was showing full to hot when cold so today i decided to drain some and now it shows up to the cold when the gearbox is cold. So im assuming its at the right level. Then i went for a drive and its slipping very bad. When i stop it revs and then kicks in when i move off. Any advice?

David P Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Check the level with the engine running after you have stirred up all the gears with the selector. Make sure you give the dipstick a good wipe because they are difficult to read. Sounds like the level is too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Before you checked the level, did you go through all (P-L) the gears a few times ? Edit - too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T14PPA Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Its weird because i just put 1.5 litres in and its still where the cold on the dipstick is. But i never emptied that much for it to read that low still. Car drives much nicer now but the dipstick is putting doubts in my mind - - - Updated - - - Thanks for the help boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 You can only drain 2 of the 7/8? litres. Check you have the correct dipstick, T.T. and N/A are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gearbox sump doesnt hold much, the rest is in the TC and cooler etc, but Im sure you knew that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yes but how can i check ive got the right dipstick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 T.T. has a black plastic top and N/A orange metal top I think. They're different lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Mine does have a black tip so its correct. Maybe before i bought it it was down on gearbox oil. I just dont want to put to much in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
