« on: 13 February 2011, 14:32:01 »
hi all,I have a intermiten fault which rears it head every now and again it is not a major problem but i would like to get it sorted out if possable, after a short run say to the local shop which is a couple of miles when i restart the car it takes a little winding over before firing up then i get a message check auto gearbox, it runs fine and drives with out any fault at all, stop the car and the restart it starts on the button and no fault is displayed,the gearbox oil level is ok, wierd or what, it is a 2000 2.2 petrol.any clues anyone,???

Best thing would be to see what the car thinks is wrong and then start from there...
You need 'Tech II' or similar to interrogate the gearbox e.c.u.

When was the gearbox oil last changed?  How many miles?

Might be the thrust washer. I would expect though that you would get some strange bangs at certain speeds and vertain gear changes.
