Omega General Help / Omega automatic gearbox problems

« on: 07 June 2009, 14:50:21 »

Can anyone help me?  I have recently bought a Vauxhall Omega 2.5 which has a problem with reverse gear.  All forward gears are fine but you have to really rev the engine to get the car to move slowly backwards.  After reading all the info on this site I decided to fill the gearbox with oil but the filler plug has been damaged and I'm not able to get it out ... any suggestions as to why it won't go backwards and how to get the filler plug out now that its damaged?

Any suggestions would be welcome!!

Thanks ...

Omega General Help / Automatic gearbox that won't go back??????????

« on: 15 July 2009, 15:11:46 »

 recently bought an X reg Omega.  Not my first Omega but my first automatic.  For the last month the car has been sitting on my driveway looking very pretty but not at all functional.  The gearbox has decided that it doesn't like reverse, well it reverses very slowly but only on the flat and while revving the engine.  I have tried filling the gearbox with oil and this helped slightly, but it is now looking like I need a new gearbox and someone in the South Wales area to fit it.  Any suggestions???  I need someone reliable and who knows their stuff, local garages have not been wonderful with these cars in the past.

Yes the car drives brilliantly in forward gears and there is some movement in reverse but not much! 

I live in Bridgend in South Wales about 25 miles from Cardiff. 

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks
