Vauxhall Omega 2.0 Auto gearbox problems (2000)
« on: 14 January 2008, 13:45:58 »
Hi,
I have just bought an Omega 2.0 with an auto gearbox 2000 w reg. The car starts great and idles perfectly. When selecting any gear the car does not engage. It is not making any noises or responding in any way. Does this mean that the gearbox or clutch is completely gone or could this merely be an electrical problem?
Thanks
Lee.

If the lights by gearstick light up properly, then you likely have mechanical problem with box :( - first port of call is to get oil in there

Is it just co-incidence that the power steering has given up at the same time and when the lights are switched on the gearstick lights dont light up and when the lights are switched off, the gearstick lights up once again as you go through the gears. Could all of these issues be linked or am i just having lots of bad luck?

Yes it is strange, i checked the fuses last night and they were all fine. Would the problem with the lights on the gearstick not lighting up when the lights are switched on have anything to do with the gears not engaging into any gear do you think? Are there any relays or sensors in the gearbox that would maybe cause this to happen?

The dash illumination is turned right up and everything lights up as normal on the dash when the lights are switched on except the gearstick lights  :(  And when the lights are switched off, the gearstick lights illuminate once again lol, Its an unusual one.
