Hello,
When i start my car in a cold condition, and drive off, i have noticed the gearbox slips quite a bit, this slipping tends to stop after about 2-3 km and has a sudden stop to it.
because of the "sudden" stop in the slipping i assumed it may be programmed to do this as the oil is cold and thicker when the engine is cold, and then opens up a valve for normal operations. is this the case?
The reason im posting this here now is that the gearbox has started slipping also when the engine is warm, this happens sometimes when i go downhill or when i have alot of variation in my driving, like when i drive on smaller roads where i often have to stop for other cars, speedbumps or turns.
I drained just a little bit of the oil to see its condition, it is almost a see through grayish color, it still has some of the original color to it, it is hard to describe how it looks, although its not the worst oil i have seen.
It has done 240 000 km and i suspect without gearbox oil change.
I want to change the oil, but i do not know if this may make my problems worse, or if it can fix them?
also it might just be how the gearbox is supposed to behave, i do not know if this is normal or not and am hoping someone here may be able to help me.
I have a fault for the transmission when using pp2000:
Permanent fault. Gearbox input speed signal fault. No signal.
i know i should use the ESSO LT 71141 oil, but can i use other oils as alternatives? will a regular ATF-U damage my vehicle?
