    Auto problem?

    D2 Td5 (pre-update)
    Dropped the auto fluid yesterday, pulled the pan off and changed the filter. Filled up to the fill plug level, then got SWMBO to start the car, and run it through the gears while I kept pumping oil in until it overflowed again.

    Problem is, when she went back to park there was a high-pitched ratcheting noise before park engaged, and the box doesn't seem to be engaging (no clunk from the driveline or rev drop) Haven't tried driving it yet (still up on stands, etc) but I'm going to try that today. Any clues from the brains trust?

    That must be the cheapest auto fix ever, good one Don.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
