Thread: TD5 Auto Dramas

G'day Mate.
Don't Panic!
Sounds like low trans fluid level to me.
Follow the filling guidliens in the owners manual and I expect all will be well.
Cheers, Dave.

I hope that is all it is . Can't see any leaks but i did do a filter and fluid change about 5000km ago . Cheers .

How long have you had the D2 Freedriver?

services?
service history?

late edit;

hmm OK, so at least one service in recent memory
did you follow the manual per filling process?
it is a bit involved,,

I have had this d2 for about 1 year but in that time I have used it a lot. Towing a boat from perth up through the kimberley then out to arnhemland but have kept the servicing up. Out has done 255k km and had a pretty good service record . No power upgrades (yet) . I was running 32" tyres with standard gearing but have swapped back to standard tyres for around perth. I suppose the auto box or torque converter could be a tired , it also seems really sluggish of the mark these days too. Oh yeah, as it was my first time working on an auto , it was done by the book.

How did you check the level? I know you said you did it by the book but it would be helpful to know exactly how YOU did it. You'd be surprised how often people doing it by the book miss critical bits of information.
