Any ideas chaps?
Cheers,
Dave

check gearbox fluid.
if its low then it will do strange things,also if the car is on a slope pointing up or down etc the fluid in the box runs away from its places inside the box if the fluid is low,

Agreed,these boxes are generally bullet-proof. That said there must be a reason for any fluid loss.

Oh sorry guys, dropped the ball on this one. I've told my dad to get the gearbox oil changed but so far he's done sod all about it!
It tends to do it mostly once its hot if that helps. Also once its hot say after motorway driving it can be a bit funny picking gears etc. The car is otherwise fine, we had it since new and its been serviced regularly.

Mate if the overdrive in my old 740 is anything to go by then it'd be the oil. Good luck.

Thanked 316 Times in 248 PostsIf it's doing it when it's hot then I'd say it's almost 100% likely to be the fluid. My Sierra 2.0 Ghia I had back in the early 90s did exactly the same thing for a while (albeit it would pick up reverse but not drive) and as soon as I topped the fluid up it was perfect.
