2.1 Automatic gear box issues

[Euroboy]

hi All,

just looking for some guidance please .. i have 1990 Caravelle with an Auto box that has started to develop problems in reverse and has stopped holding in Drive,

I have replaced the oil ( which it needed ) gasket and strainer, closer inspection shows that the linkage is worn and wobbly so i'm hoping that is where the issue lies,

my question : is there anyone on here i could talk to regarding Auto box's

thanks in advance

Thanks Rob

Sorry mate no good recommendations. Had mine rebuilt twice by different repairers. First one a disaster, second expensive and involved buying unnecessary parts plus nearly three months in the garage. Fixed by trial and error and a valve body courtesy of Rob. Having said that they did someone elses auto and she had no problems

Methinks your just unlucky mate

Auto gearbox update...
“Automatic Transmission specialists” at Hilton in Derbyshire, gave them a call, took it over, left it for a week, collected it, drove it home, all good ....
I dealt with a guy called Lee and they didn’t seem to flinch at working on a 1990 vehicle
They have a branch at Manchester also
No dramas
