Has the fluid and filter even been changed? If so, they should have used the proper ATF+3 fluid, which has since been replaced with ATF+4. If you continue to have problems, I would suggest taking it to a shop that can scan the transmission for trouble codes. I would hope that there are places in the UK that can do that. These transmission had several problems in the early days, but most of them were fixed by this time. More information about the transmissions, and repairs is available at http://www.allpar.com. -KM |
