RE - CON AUTO BOX FOR £30-00 !!!

(1/2) > >>

SPIKEY:
Have you got a 4 speed lazy auto box? Try the following:

When I purchased my '88 3.5 E.F.I.  it was struggling to go in to gear when cold, and revving high in - between gears.

The solution? - change the auto gearbox filter.
Buy a Haynes manual, follow the step by step guide and you will be pleasently surprised.

Take the crossmember off under the 'box,drain the transmission oil,un-do the filter, re-new it, re-assemble and top up with new oil and in my case it was if a new box was in the car.

A rogue mate of mine told me he had charged people £600 for this job, as it really improves your gearchanges.

20 odd quid for the filter and a tenners worth of oil - what have you got to lose?

Sorry rogue traders - your number is up !!!!!

Cheers,

SPIKEY.

Will give that a try soon as I get a free day :) cheers

Don't expect miracles...  if the filter screen is blocked it will cause a sluggish response, but my experience has been that it's more often than not the main cause.

If the cross member hasn't been out in a while, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to do the job, you will usually need to remove part of the exhaust as well as one of the gearbox mounts.

Don't want to be a gloom-meister...  sorry.

SteveH:
Good to know these things before starting/trying them :)

MUSKIE:
is the filter a genuine part only?? if so do you have the part number, i have bought oil and planed to do this job in a week or so.
are there any other bits needed i.e gaskets etc.
