Title: omega 3.0 elite facelift autobox probs??
Post by: matty on 02 June 2010, 19:21:19

I've recently got a 3.0 facelift elite estate with autobox problems, changed the oil today with dextro3 and mate who changed it drove it and said it was fine after, I picked it up and still slipping and won't change till near 4k roughly, I hit the accelerator and no joy it just looses power and revs just drop to idle!

Any ideas?

might be worth dropping the small sump to see if its got bits of thrust washer in it. :(

He didn't say anything when he took the sump out said it was just dirty and old

thats as maybe but he only needed to drop the large sump to do the filter & atf change, the washer if busted ends up in the small sump nearer the front, but either way the box will have to come out so youd be just as well to change it anyway, unless your mechanic knows how to fit a thrust washer if its gone.

If I get it up on ramps, take the bung out should the box be filled to brim? Just thinkin of seeing if it needs topped up
