Thread: No Drive - Auto TD5

Well what a fun trip home from work.
It would appear my auto is not happy. Hoping it is just low on oil. If not will be seeing how good this RACV Warranty is.

Start it up stuck in drive. Need some throttle to get it to roll out of the carport. Thought that was weird. Back up a little to see if there was fluid on the ground. When engaging Reverse, all I got was a little shudder. Then nothing. Nothing in any gear.
Did the old turn it off and on again, looked for fuses (are there any for the auto), disconnected the battery. No warning lights and no limp home mode (I assume it has one).

Drove the 100km into work in the morning no issues. No oil mess under the car.
I can hear a faint change in engine noise when shifting from R-N-D (Others cant, but there either old or ex army, so there all deaf).

Anyone got an ideas?
I am thinking oil is low (but where did it go, as no sign of leak), oil pump cactus and not getting pressure.
I havent had any battery issues. So dont think there is voltage issue (google found a thread on low battery). As car was idled in N for 4-5mins while I searched for a fuse.

Well cars at the auto shop now. He pretty much went with a diagnosis of stripped spline in the torque converter.
But want know for sure till next week sometime (there was a line up).
