I too have a slippage problem with my Auto Gearbox,
especially when going on uphills or under load, it tends to slip on 3rd, this to rectify the situation I have to really floor it then it changes to 2nd until I get enough momentum.

How do I fix this, (I cannot afford R12,000).

When last was the transmission fluid drained, flushed and replaced?

If not recently, that might just be the only problem.

Hi 4ePajero,

I was hoping you would bite,

No, when I discovered this, my mackie re-torqued the box and topped up the oil,
but since, I'm getting a very slight drip, and the oil is brown, obviously burning a bit when slipping.

What do you suggest, because re-torquing and topping up did not make any difference.
