Automatic gearbox problems
Discussion
Afternoon all
I’ve got a 2005 Mondeo 2.0 petrol automatic. The cars on 135k miles.
On blisteringly hot days, the gearbox appears to overheat, not changing down gears and then when it does, it struggles to actually change up again. I was an hour and a half away from home when it did it yesterday so I got it recovered back, and the recovery guy said it may just need an oil change. Looking through the wad of receipts it’s had all sorts of work done, but never appears to have had a gearbox oil and filter change done. Could this cause these symptoms or may I be looking at a much bigger issue here? Auto gearboxes are completely new to me so I’m unsure, and being a Sunday I can’t get hold of any garages!
Thanks guys!
