I hope I am wrong , as We are supposed to be going on a 2 week jaunt the week after next. My van is a 2.1 Dj automatic. Today whilst driving it seemed to change down then back up again on a straight road whilst under no load. Late on when I came to back onto my drive it really clunked when going into reverse ( it has awlays clunked a bit ) . Then when I put it into drive it clunked again, which it never has. Then after I parked up I could smell what I think is gear oil. There are no leaks and I checked the gear oil which is the reddish colour I think it should be. 
Any thoughts or suggestions. I will check it tomorrow when I come home from work to see if it drives ok. 
Thanks

Re: Autobox fault ?
Have you ever changed the oil pan filter?

Re: Autobox fault ?
No not changed the filter. Am going to change it this week.
Hope it's not the box rob as supposed to be going on a holiday next week on a bit of a tour .
Fingers crossed . I don't think you can get the boxes fixed . ?. Secondhand or manual conversion.
