slippy auto box


Recommended Posts

Good day people.

As you can probably guess from the title i got myself a 'slippy' auto box!

Started a few days back when reverse wasn't engaging properly. It would move back at tick-over speed, but any revs you gave it up and beyond this would just rev as if in neutural.

So first off replaced tranny oil with all the gaskets and filters. The oil was near on perfect!!

Anyway, as you can guess, the oil change did nowt, if anything made things worse!

Now driving into work this morn, pulling away from my house and every junction on the way in wouldn't go into 1,2 or 3 and bounced about like a kangaroo in D until i got to about 30mph where it revved at about 1K higher than what it would do normally at that speed and gear!!

When the drive did eventually engage, it slammed into gear with such a Bang that it felt like someone had ran up the back of me at about 20mph .... not good!

The smell of tranny oil when i got to work was pretty eveident in the cab.

Going to out it on VAG at lunchtime today in the hope ( a tiny glimmer i know) that it might tell me something electrical!!

I am guessing the worst guys and thinking the slip rings or somehting are giving up the ghost?

Any advise on what to try next or is it pretty much clear cut?

And if it is the box, anyone want a sweet Golf VR as spares or repair :-(

Cheers Murph

Right after a lunch break of VAG-COM'ing it threw up the fault:

00652 - Gear Monitoring 27-10: Implausible Signal

Gearbox and vehicle speed sensors are gonna be the next check (where ever the hell they are), Has anyone else ever dealt with this?

Any help would be top :)

After much deliberation i'm selling my VR.

I beleive it's the autobox internals that are goning/gone and i dont have the time, know how or inclanation to fix it. Its gonna be more hassle for me to sort it all out.

A smart 96' Mystic Blue Pearl with 88K and 12 months MOT will be in 'for sale' section soon :(
