    hi paul. there is a filter on this box. remove the sump and get covered in atf coz some idiot didnt put a drain plug on them. the filter is bolted onto the valve block with 1 bolt and just 2 rubber 'o' rings. then refit sump with new gasket. fill with atf through dipstick tube, 5 pints to begin then run engine,run through all gears inc rev and re check in park with engine running. repeat till correct level.

    from your symptoms it just sound like a low fluid level though to be honest.

    Also if the level is low there is a vacuum canister on the os side of the gearbox with 1 vac pipe going to it,pull off this pipe and see if any fluid comes out,if it does it needs the vacuum canister replacing as it will be burning the atf through the inlet manifold. the canisters are different so you need to get the part number off the old unit. 1 10mm bolt and pull the can out,there is a metel pin that sits behind it so dont lose that.


    filter part number 4000411 £17
    sump gasket 6941997 £14:78
