Only happens occasionally...

Sometimes when its changing in low gears theres a bit of a judder. A bit like when you leave a manual in too high a gear.

Any ideas what it could be?

Are we talking the engine oil here? Or do you mean transmission fluid or something?

box oil.

Also you better hope theres no water in with is as theres water based glues used on the clutches etc

I hate auto boxes, in fact sell it and buy a manual - problem solved.

erm on an auto, its not exactly easy.

if you need to ask then take it to an auto specialists to have it changed, a specialist will do it right unlike a normal garage and charge a fair price

Yeh. Think I'll do that...

Been having a look at it. It seems that the juddering happens mainly when the engine is under load (i.e. accelerating up a slip road). Like the clutch is slipping or something...

Hope its just the fluid !!!!
