Re: [doc] Auto transmission

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

I'm not going to be a lot of help here because I'm going to tell you 
what it isn't....

I'm sure someone might jump in and blame the transmission governor, but 
this is designed to get stuck in 3rd if it fails AFAIK

The bit where the tranny meets the engine is the final drive and takes 
regular gear oil. Probably just driveshaft seals weeping (v common after 
24 years, but usually only a couple of drips a week!)
