I bought a bargain barge about this time last year and just managed to bluff it through an mot again. Trouble is I think the automatic gearbox wants to pack up. Symptoms started last year.

When you pedal to the metal from speed or a standstill the box will kickdown into a lower gear and the engine revs up but none of that power is transfered to the wheels, even seeming to be actively braking momentum when trying to accelerate from speed.

All forward gears work fine without problem as long as I'm just wafting around but I'm no granddad and not having the ability to power through an overtake is a bit of a pisstake seeing as I'm paying over the odds to run a 3 odd litre straight 6.

The ATF was burnt and dark, that's all now fresh as well as a new filter, problem persists. Is a rebuild in order?

Sounds likely mate. Possibly a dodgy differential though which might be a cheaper fix. Either way you'll be spending some money, sorry lad.

It might just be cheaper to find a crashed beemer and hope his gearbox isn't fucked and swap them out, but if you don't have the means to transport that yourself, a rebuild might actually be cheaper.

>>4140 Differentials don't slip like that - they go, or they stop going. There's a period of noise inbetween, which could be from seconds to years - but they don't slip.

Sounds like a clutch pack (or more than one) is failing.
Loads of 4HP22 bits on ebay, so it looks like a common 'box that people do service, which bodes well.
Good luck!

It's just what I first thought when I read

1) What make/model is your vehicle?
2) What made you want an automatic?

While I'm here, does anyone remember the lad who was doing up an old Escort (no pun intended)?

He promised us restoration pictures.

Keep an eye out for a swapper? They're not rare, especially if the one used in landys is the same.

It's used in a shitload of motors from that period of time, Audi, Landy, Alfa, Some VWs and even Lancias IIRC.

Must be a beemer though, can't think of another 3L straight 6 with a ZF.

Ah yes, an old XJ of some sort. I'd guess XJ6 since he said 'barge'.

Funny how you too call this type of cars barge.
Nice vehicle. I admit I have a soft spot for them though.
