Aight, today I was driving normally (Really was this time, no bush bashing involved. Did that yesterday) and all of a sudden my gears are being lame. Its an auto obviously but wont move into 2nd till 5500revs and thats about 60kph.

Anyone know what it could be? Simple fix? Sophisticated expensive cheaper to get a new car fix?

Try changing the gearbox oil!

what he said....

Now that you mention it there was some oil on the floor.

lol "my dog wont get out of bed, what do i do?"
"come to mention it, theres been some arterial blood around the place lately"

yeah get some more in there asap, an automatic gearbox uses the preasure to be able change gears,

and find out what the leak is and fix it cause adding more oil all the time isnt good

Liquidity: Mum mentioned the Oil, I checked the main oil thingy. First time having an auto I forgot there is the other oil thing... Everyone learns at some stage...

true

but quid.....that was the funniest thing i've seen all day

Tis' fixed!

Wahoo! I am the king... even though it was only low on oil...

Found out I was checking the right dipstick, but even low it reads about 5cm over full... when its full it reads at the exact same position

did you check while the car was running

auto trans require the car to be running in park or neutral otherwise they will read more then what they auctually have

Not the first time, but the 2nd time I did.

I've found out how to accuratly get the reading. I need to hold it infront of direct light (The sun doesn't work) like my maglite then I can see the thickness and tell where it really is up to.
