[QUOTE="zib, post: 612809, member: 23925"] it is the clutches. Confirm gearbox gone. I went and saw the gbox dismantled. The main shaft was badly worn and the clutches almost all gone. Well the car actually has done over 250k KM before the used car dealer or the prev owner clocked it.. I think no electric component can cure this. The rubber o rings inside many had hardened or perished causing pressure leaks everywhere inside the box.. Anyway..no chance of other possibilities to date..so agreed to overhaul it. This I have anticipated when I bought the car almost a year ago. It is already 10 years old this year so can't be right if the gbox should last this long. It was jerky and gave some humming noise before things got nasty.. [/QUOTE]
