my car is an Au 1 auto.


recently in the past month i have noticed the car on occasion when its cold to slip out of gear and rev... ussally when i go to take off it would rev out then go clunk and kick into gear... over the past few weeks its gotten worse... still only seems when the car is cold but so much more frequently... i got stuck when the lights changed and i was in the middle of the intersection... tram took off so i just planted it and hoped it would take.... 2 seconds later it it did. BANG owch

I asked one of the guys at work (ok im not huge on engine work and whatnot) as he said what have you been doing reving it and dumping it into drive... no no nothing like that i know thats not good this just started to happen, then just lately the thing is just a pain in the a*** to drive in the mornings.

anyway does it sound like its fully f**k or do you think it can be fixed..... also in the end is it gonna work out better to do a 5 speed conversion.

go the 5 speed...

yeh its what ive wanted to do for a while.... but if its only gonna cost a fraction at the moment to get this done then the 5 speed can wait.... if by all means its f**k then maybe it'll get done sooner....

its your perfect excuse....

take it to ford or transmission place and get them to flush your tranny and tighten bands! is there any oil leaking from your tranny???

out of curiosuty how much roughly would it cost for someone to convert it for me. bare in mind i would have to pay someone to do it.


there is an oil leak somewhere havent trackedit down need someone too look at it but when you work monday to sat its hard to find the time.

About $1600 would be the price for T5 and someone to fit it.

a full auto reco on the other hand is about $1100 in sydney.. spend the extra $500 and get rid of the slusher.
