Hi,

Sorry it doesn't sound good,any warning lights coming up?. Have you checked the fluid level using the correct proceedure and the colour ( should be cherry red) also sniff the fluid if it smells burnt it may indicate a brake band or clutch problem.

Have a look for an auto transmission specialist in your area.

You might want to post here as these guys are more into Soarers.

A little more info on the engine size and year of the car will help with a reply

Thanks Asi, there is a gearbox local but if it gets sold I would be interested, if price is right and then what about postage?

Hi Steve thanks for the reply, no dash warning lights fluid in box ok hot and cold level with no smell to it, and spoke to local specialist and nobody will touch, they say parts are hard to get and refer to a main dealer.
