Hi Guys
There's a lot of info about issues with the 722.6 gearbox, but all seem to mention ranging/slipping when changing gear. Mine slips in 1st/reverse, sometimes it will rev up and drag, other times it will judder badly, or slip and engage squeaking the tyres. Only does it when moving off, and normally when under load. If you're gentle with it, it usually moves off ok. Doesn't do it if you change down into first from 2 and floor it, and it is fine in all other gears/changes. Very rarely it will go into limp mode. Anyone know if this is a conductor plate/oil in plug issue, or something else entirely? I do know the history of the car (E270) and it only had it's first oil change in the gearbox at 170,000 miles, (now 186k) when it was presenting problems with engaging gears and slipping. Short of doing another filter change and flush, I'm out of my technical ability with Auto boxes.
TIA
