Well finally got around to fitting my £20 2nd hand auto box ... runs ok , only thing is the gear change from 1-2 is a bit rough and when accelarating from lower speed e.g. at junction , r/abouts etc , seems to over rev before catching a gear ... any ideas , could replacing solenoids make a difference ? Thanks in advance ... Ali

atf level is fine ... fuild a lovely red colour

When you checked the fluid level was the oil warm and the engine running and you had put it through the gears (footbrake on obviously)  and the car level?

I would have taken the opportunity to change the fluid and clean/replace the filter before fitting the box that way you could have checked the thrust washer wasn't in bits before fitting the box
