Use Jar-Jar for a road hump, I think. Much better.
As to the gearbox problem, if it were me, I'd try a fluid change and if that doesn't work then I'd be looking for a replacement. And make sure you fit breather pipes on this one!

--- Quote from: "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.

That's a bad sign. I'm not expert in Auto boxs but I think there is a clutch or brake band that does all the work going forewards, so that if it goes you can only reverse (not the first time I've heard of this happening BTW).
You could try an oil change but it will only change 2/3 of the oil as the torque converter can't be drained :roll:
Also make sure you 'purge' the valve block by selecting all the gears with the engine running.
If it works but is slipping my mate sells some fix-it-in-a-can for auto boxes, it works but doesn't do miracles.

Hi again
Does anyone know if an 87 auto box will work on my 94 rangerover ?
Its a zf 4 speed but im unsure if the speedo cable and viscous coupling etc are the same.I read that my box has an electric sender for the speedo and earlier ones have a mechanical link.
Anyway ,will it fit ?
cheers,
andy
