Hi - already sorted ;)

Most recent price paid was 2,400 for a full inspection, including a guibo replacement and the garage taking the car to tasjeel for the inspection itself

I never updated...

There was no issue with the tranny at all. the garage had installed a seal that was slightly the wrong size. Replaced FOC and have had no issues now.

+ Tasjeel passed in 6minutes after a full service and flush of all fluids!

Year 1 of ownership was costly, but hopefully worth it in the long run.

You would have paid just as much for a complete manual swap.
Its a fairly easy swap with many of the parts available. Check with our sponsors they certainly will be able to help you.
If not PM me I can set you on the right track.

NO WAY!

When I first got the car I tried all the sponsors as I needed to sort the first tranny problem. BUT none of them responded or could help.

If you have any contacts that would be much appreciated :)

I would check the output / input shaft seals and gasket for the leak.
Regarding the hard shifts on low speeds could be many reasons, from a $2 spring to internal gears.
My advice would be to convert it to manual :drool: increase price value + significant enhancement in testosterone levels. WIN WIN.


If you have not changed it during the swap and it was not doing that with the previous gear then I doubt its that.
Most likely its the new gear you've replaced. If drained dry then filled with oil it could cause issues.

This sounds brutally complex.
What price range are we looking at to do this?
And which garages are capable in DXB? My last tranny was delivered from Jordan and price with installation was about 2,500dhs

yeah figured as much.

gut feeling on if you think it's related to the tranny switch?

thanks for the suggestions guys - easier said than done given the lack of any space to do this!

I'm checking under the car frequently, looked again yesterday and it seems that the liquid is building up on the underneath of the sump, but not from the drain plug

Will have to just go back to the garage again and see what they think.

Perhaps it's normal that there'd be some ATF leak?

Nope, there shouldnt be any leak :)

wash the underside before taking it to them, it helps to spot the leak source

wash your underside and park it immediately, check for fresh oil leaks after a few days.

you will be able to tell from the marks on the floor
