Taxi Driver Online

Hi all

N plate Fairway Auto

Basically after about 3-5 hours the box gets very lazy, wont change up gears very easy, seems to hang around in first alot, before this its works lots better but not perfect (when its cooler i suppose).

Anyone know anything about them at all?

Any help would be great as its a right pain!

Cheers

Get the oil level checked, or even replace the oil, after so many ks the oil thins out so will not work the ports,
I think £50, or less would sort it out
Get it done ASAP

Sorry, should of said

The taxi was stood for 3 months while it got resprayed etc so after this it was fully serviced including the gearoil drained and refilled.

first job is to run and warm up transmission, it is reckoned to need around 10 miles to warm up a auto box transmission, check fluid level on dipstick when at working temp
Its hard to pin point the fault without seeing it in action

I used to repair auto transmissions on industrials lift truck years ago, they are really so simple inside that auto box
It sounds to me a couple of things

You say they have changed the oil, but have they cleaned or changed the filter in the autobox sump, it seems to me that other than that it could be the brake band adjustment, front or rear band or a leaky servo seal when it reaches working temperature

you do not mention anything like slipping in drive

so first have the level checked
next check the kickdown cable, have a look at your kick down cable see if its connected

if you can write down exactly what is happening maybe I can tell you

Thanks for info

Its booked in today to be looked at, i need it back on the road asap!

Will post up the outcome (fingers crossed!)

If the above does not work then its a rebuild

Booked in today for a new box to be fitted, hope its done today!
