Great news, you reckon that the filter was clogged all this time causing the problem?

I believe so. It explains how the drive gradually left it after the first journey.

I can move now, even against the footbrake so difference is clear.

Good job it had a filter in it !

There are some that reckon you don't need gearbox filters

Are they the ones with knackered gearboxes then?

The ones with funny haircuts!!! It would seem we're not allowed to mention names!!

When you think about it the auto box is a sophisticated hydraulic system, anything which effects flow and pressures within it are going to directly effect performance.

Old fluid of varying densities and blocked filters are always high on the list of suspects, and fortunately relatively cheap fixes too.

Having enough oil in the box helps too

Pity the instructions and dipstick are in no way accurate and only the advice of DCUK elders can be used

Today I got an issue with the passenger side door latch sorted, passenger side window working and the passenger side door trim all refitted.

Actually enjoyed working on the car without a deadline to meet.
