My box is playing up again !! I noticed it at the rolling rd day on sunday, It was hesitant, going into 5th gear, but still went ahead with the power run.
As all who were there noticed the smoke from underneath the car, the discussion was is it the diff ?? is it the exhaust ?? The car is put under that much stress at these events, It was hardly suprising it was smoking !! [be careful Pete !! ]
Checked the oil level when I got back, & It had gone down, but not by a significant amount. BUT !! just checked again & It's dry as a bone !! AND...... the tell tail smeer of ATF on the rear screen again. :veryangry
So I've taken the car up to the petrol station, where its light, & had a good look under the car, praying that it was the sump leaking again. [ if it was, then the dealer can fix it at their own expense !! ] but that was also dry :wall:
The leak is coming from the gearbox itself now !! probably the seal between the box & the engine, but not easy to tell with all the ATF under the car.
Ah well.............. yet more expense !! :( :(
