Hi All, So my steppy has lost all drive. It happened just a mile from my home down a gentle country lane. It just coasted to a halt, the engines running fine just no reverse or forward gears. I've got her towed home and checked the gearbox fluid which was low, and topped it it up. Still no drive though. I was going to change the fluid completely and filter as my next effort to solve the problem, however I've realised the wheels still turn when the car is in park. I don't know a great deal about these boxes, but it would suggest the problem isn't fluid as I assume the park facility is a mechanical lock.
The selector arm seem to be travelling the full distance so I don't think it's cable adjustment. Has anybody any experience of this fault?
I'm hoping maybe a nut has dropped off or something just as the selector enters the casing - I think I can remove the sump, filter and valve block and maybe see what's going on? I've never worked on an autobox let alone a CVT so not too confident with what I'm doing. I'm thinking of maybe just getting another box and swapping it out. Any advice would be appreciated.
