its always when it tries to select 3rd or at low revs you lift of and back on again and doesnt find a gear and just revs unless u revs the nutts of it in which case it jumps in.

Sounds like the 2-3 solenoid. Sump off jobbie. Have a read of this and note "Figure 2" part #307 http://images.omegaowners.com/downloads/Autobox_Docs/4L30E_Article.pdf

My standby does 1 2 nothing sometimes, other times fine.
I have an AR 35 but don't feel up to a swap. Would you change just 2/3 solenoid or whole valve box ,or whatever it's called?

[v6power]

Read the codes which showed solenoid 2-3 fault. So £260 for parts and labour but that includes a full gearbox service so hopefully that should sort that.

Well thats the gearbox done and dusted it now runs as smooth as when it was made. Result. Full service in the morning, wash, wax, piccys to upload. cheers for all the help ppl.
