AW11 Auto Gearbox issue?????

Post by dubb87 »

Does anyone know what might be the issue with my aw11 ??? I have a Bluetop 4age automatic aw11, the issue with it is from driving off from a fullstop first gear tends to judder/ skip sort of if driving off slowly/normal speed but if i go alot faster off the mark its not noticeable at all, it changes through the gears fine etc but is only noticeable in first gear, i took it to a mechanic and he said the gear oil is full but does smell burnt and looks burnt looking lol, but he reckoned if i flushed the gear oil and replaced it with new oil it might completely trash the gearbox all together LOL, any recommendations or advice would be GREAT

I also have a complete manual AW11 parts car to do a manual conversion if need be but would prefer to try and sort the current gearbox if possible .

:D :D

Join the club and you'll find it easily as then you can search..... :mrgreen: $30.00 well spent because if you need them, you'll save more than that on your solenoid purchases. :idea:
See ya
