Auto Gearbox problem

(1/7) > >>

buster uk:
Hi guys,i was off roading today and got my rangie stuck in quite a hole.
It was full of water.Not the first time but once we got it out (4 hours later) it took a bit of starting,anyway.Drove off and after 5 mins of driving the engine rev'd up and i had no drive.Pulled over ,it would go into reverse but no forward gears.It is an automatic box.

Pics below :





The pictures were taken when we dragged it back by Fourtrack (shush dont tell anyone !!) but couldnt get any further.The water was very deep and came over the bonnet,the exhaust was full of water.
Any ideas please,i haven't checked anything yet.
cheers
andy

sounds like the box is gimped,could have sooked water in so as a start id advise giving it an oil change but be prepared for an expensive bill,
Does the oil smell burnt or is it creamy?

buster uk:
Not sure but i'll let you know ,im going to check it today.

I had exactly this problem with an old 3 speed auto box.

Off road a decent sized puddle would temporarily remove drive in gears... eventually it failed al together...

Whe I drained it though... the fluid was a lovely red colour... clean and not conatminatged looking.

I never did get to the bottom of it as the vehicle has since been scrapped.

Might not mean the box is contaminated with water though.

buster uk:
Just checked the oil.
Its a red colour but darkened not like brand new atf.But it has been in there for at least the 2.5 years i've owned it.
No filings but does smell a little burnt like brake pads or clutch.
