Hi all,
First off, apologies if this is treading on toes, I have tried another forum or two with very little in the way of help or response, and ultimately, the people on here seem to know the difference between that thing half way down their arm, and the thing they sit on... Anyhow.
I have an A6 2.7tt, still on original ATF fluid, it seems the clutch isn't locking and is in a constant state of slip, i am conscious that either the torque converter is kaput, however, I 'may' be able to breathe a second wind into it by changing the ATF fluid, and perhaps, adding something like Forte ATF treatment (have used their power steering treatment in the past on another car, and it worked well - its still going and doesn't groan anymore, if a little heavy) anyway.
I'm based down in Portsmouth.... Moved from Sheffield where I had a double garage, lots of room to work and tools. Now I'm here I don't have access to a garage/driveway/pit, etc, can either anyone suggest anyone who knows what their doing to take a look at changing the ATF fluid and of course, won't take the p*ss with pricing, or, is anyone local to me willing to offer a hand (with a garage/pit/lift/somewhere to work) -happy to pay for your time.
Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Jonathan
