Thanks, Dirty Hands for your reply.
The c.v joint was replaced 1300 kms ago during a service. Car rolled to a stop last week, with elderly M. in Law at wheel.No noise or clunk or crunch, just unable to move. After 10 minute inspection, emergency mechanics suggested transmission (4 speed auto) needed replacing. Cost up to $2000. Decided to hold off. Not been able to get trusted local mechanic to have a look yet but wondering if there is a simple way of working out if it is transmission or cv joint. Reluctant to tackle anything in case it is the faulty new cv joint and then it would be the responsibility of the mechanic who put it in. Grateful for any ideas. |

wont be a CV problem
auto oil fliuid has to be red if you have drive and reverse the problem is electronic .. if the box slips while driving then it needs an overhaul -and /or- a torque converter or buy a second hand gearbox from a wrecker . ..some wreckers have a fitting service

auto oil fliuid has to be red - if brown oh -oh thats bad
aditional info recheck fluid level old auto fliud thins- and should be changed once a year if you rev and no movement then it may be the torque converter alone if there is a bang when you try reverse it may be the oil pump cost wise - buy a second hand gearbox from a wrecker .
