Hi all have a problem with my auto box it's on a 3.0 2001 done 100k it seems to miss 4th gear we accelerating fairly not too hard it revs and takes a while to engage but if accelerating gently it's ok no other gear is affected and today for the first time it came up gearbox fault stopped switched off engine re-started and gearbox fault goes any help is it termnial!!!!!!!!!!! or would a fluid change do the trick

 

How is fluid?

 

I had exactly the same issue on my car 3 years ago. Unfortunately it was an expensive fix due to a failed solenoid which caused a clutch pack to burn out. The code that was thrown was P0734 4th Gear Out of Range.

Here is the link to the UK forum where I outlined the issue in a little more detail: Gearbox fault - P0734

so you had to have a clutch pack and solenoid or just the solenoid ? the solenoid looks easy to change in the manual

 

It needed both, which I understand was a transmission out job. Unfortunately here in Australia labour costs are somewhat high!

thanks for that
