£5 says it will not fix it bodsy, couple of weeks and then back again.

BTW, the torque converters inside the gearbox, so complete box out job with around £600 labour and around the same for a new TC.

Personally, I recon there ought to be a group buy of these things, what d'yer say TLO:rolllaugh:

Just because it happened to you doesnt mean it WILL happen to everyone else

Ill take your £5. Lost count of how many of these I have replaced (and fixed the fault) over the last 6 years

Cool that you've changed so many pivots, does that mean the problem has been resolved or just a temp measure like having the gearbox flush

I'd happily take your £5. It's classic symptom of the pivot. Nothing more sinister IMHO.

£2.99 can of spray grease from Halfrauds & 10mm socket thingie, bit of crawling around under the car dropping the gearbox cover at one end & it's sorted. Now carry the can in the dour pocket but haven't used it in 2000 miles.

no its not, what a load of .

Had pivot replaced, still the same
Had complete new auto selector/cable, still the same
Had new gearbox, all mended and fine

I rest my case

If the OP has a stiff gear lever, then the pivot WILL cure the fault...

If it moves nice and freely, and still jumps out of gear, then you may be right. But still, I would rather spend £10 on a hopeful fix first, than £4k+ on a new autobox. Or maybe thats just me?

Did you ever think that your gearbox failed due to the amount of miles on it, most of them while towing all day, every day?
Same with your water pump? Just beacuse your failed at 400,000 (ish) miles, doesnt mean everyone else's will fail at 105k miles
