Hi, I have just got a 2003 v8 4.4 autobiography which I've always wanted, but has started to develop a fault with the gearbox, seemed to start with it holding revs up and not changing up the box correctly, then goes into transmission overheat, and transmission failsafe. Also noticed that the gear select indicator on the instrument cluster keeps disappearing from the display? At other times seems to drive with no issue, especially when from cold. Have read various different articles all saying different things, any advice would be appreciated

If it's driving well from cold I would suspect the oil cooler and rad. |

Spot on Alistair. Best replace rad and oil cooler for many more miles of happy motoring. |

if you have got transmission overheat a few times now, you need to get the gearbox oil changed at least. as when it overheats the oil degrade much faster then normal.

Gearbox seems to be getting worse, went out today and it started ok, but the autobox not changing gear and showing Transmission Failsafe in display from start, after a few miles then shows Tranmission Overheat.

Bought it for a very reasonable price, expected to have to pay out on it at some point! |
