I have a 1999 model Mondeo 2.0i on 56,000 miles I’ve changed the auto box fluid and both sensors as some forums suggested to do I bought the car knowing the box was playing up It had been garaged for three years And the owner said there were no issues before he sorned it? The od light flashes although the box is working fine apart from reverse which takes a while to engage I'm not convinced it’s the auto box knackered Anyone got any knowledge or advice ? Cheers Danny

Does the box have a filter you can change? Not one that I can find ? Unless it’s inside the box

Does it have a sump you can drop, like the bmw e46 I had. See if there is any swarf in the sump?

Usually something of this age will usually have a sump and it’ll be in there like the oil strainer pickup. I was so glad Hyundai decided to fit an actual spin on filter on the auto box on my XG30. Hope you get the problem sorted. Have you had a code read done on the TCU?

No code read as yet, I need to get it to a local specialist I think

No code read as yet, I need to get it to a local specialist I think I would be surprised if the TCU couldn't be read with any OBD scanner that has specific protocols. Might be worth doing before involving transmission specialists.

Well this looks good I’ve done an ecu reset by removing two fuses , then leaving it for twenty minutes then driving it for a few miles The od light has gone out and the box is very smooth and engaging reverse perfectly I can only assume it’s there years of storage didn’t help after the. Owner put a new battery on it and moved it out of his garage
