Check atf fluid level first and top up as required.

As Dbug says, sounds like your ATF is low. Where abouts are you Greg?

[gregs]

i'm in l'derry, nobody bout here understands automatics

Also check the colour of the ATF. It should be red. If it's brown you need to change it.

deep brown/black the fluid is,is this my problem??

[guncharmer]

Have you had this car long?,what i am trying to get at is did these symptoms suddenly appear?,atf fluid change may help but more likely the autobox is beyond repair. How many miles has it done and has it towed?

[guncharmer]

Ijust read your other thread saying you got the car yesterday,you are clutching at straws thinking the oil change might get the box going,colour of the fluid suggests the car was driven to its death.

136 thou, don't know, your man said it was lying up and when he first got it, it would only move in reverse, have a new filter ordered, it will be here on monday. don't think the correct oil was added?? but the torqueconverter was also mentioned but it was not by someone who works on these vehicles
