A good Autobox Shop in Kent is Dartford Transmissions, honest and reliable, ask for Tony or Bob.
As you say the Mondeo tranny, (CD4E) on old ones or Jatco on later 5sp Autos is a pita as the subframe has to be dropped to get it out, but I used to do millyuns of em and were normally fine. Its usually loss of forward - broken clutch drum... loss of 2nd / 4th broken band and or band servo piston, or shifting down for no reason the range switch on top. ECU's and valve blocks don't give much trouble.
HTH Dave
Thank you Dave.... Car just moves forward about 8ft in Drive and then stops..... I am trying to find a decent Auto Shop in my area (Alton, Hants) but haven't got a clue where to start.....
I found a couple on the net, however, they both said it would be a stripping the gearbox job before they had even seen the car and quoted between 850 to 1500.....
car still on drive and Im still looking for an Auto Shop .....
Thank you Dave & Tabetha for your advice, so diff when you haven't got a clue as to how minor or major a fault might be.....
