Autobox or Electronic ???
« on: 05 June 2012, 20:17:32 »
Hi Guys,

Really tempted fate I suppose, my '97 3.0 Elite was starting to look a wee bit shabby due to my neglect so a fortnight back when offered a '01 3.2 that was half tidy at a good price I jumped in with both feet.
Only done 124 miles when today whilst out there was a dull thump from somewhere in the car (felt central below) the auto box changed up from 2 to 3, it did seem to be labouring..... & the electronic immobiliser light came on.
The box now works fine in 1 2 3 but slips like mad in D... too scared to do anything as yet, just brought her home!
Any ideas chaps you were brilliant over my previous problem..............

But what they haven't said is that it may well be a Donald thrust washer. Box off job to replace I'm afraid. I don't think there is a 'how to' unfortunately. :y

I thought there used to be one  :-\ I seem to recall it being written by Ronald McDonaldMcBurger but it got retired from the howto section with a comment about how it needed rewriting due to errors.

Correct Andy, with some useful pics IIRC, I had this bookmarked and when I wanted to change my auto box, it had gone. :'( :'( :'(

So it still exists? Any chance of a corrected version being posted JB? I still want to swap out my AR25 for an AR35 in my TD. :y

Well if one already exists, but needs correcting, there are probably 50 on here qualified to do so, and I am not one! :y
