Matthew spencer Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Hi people can any one help me i have a 2003 2.4 petrol and when starting out on a journey it wont select 4th until you have covered a few miles. On a motorway journey the other day it was fine till we pulled off for a leg stretch then when we continued the journey it was in 3rd and would not select 4th until 10 miles or so on the motorway then it just started working again can anyone help with this as i dont want to go to the expense of a new gearbox if its a simple sensor or relay etc Any advice is much appreciated Thanks matt Forgot to mention its had gear box oil changed but not the filter as garage said it was gearbox out to change the filter which i thought seemed extremely Edited August 30, 2019 by Matthew spencer Forgot to mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I always change, clean the filers and magnets. Not hear of this error. Light be worth taking it to a gearbox expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew spencer Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks for your reply when the gear oil was changed it came out like treacle so it hadnt been done in ages some days it has no problems at all im wondering if its just a loose connection on something. Ill get it booked in and looked at thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 If it was like treacle then was there any metal shards or shavings in it? Might be the clutch slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
