- 2005 SV6 Vz Commodore 190kw
Hi guys,
This is my first post I have an SV6 190kw VZ Commodore and need some help getting it going. It's a 2005, with a 5 speed auto transmission. (Also has paddle shifters).
I was away for the weekend and I drove home car was perfectly fine. Later that night I went out to pick up dinner and After stopping with the car still running I noticed a strange sound. when I went to drive again, it wouldn't move - Just reved up. I tried shifting the gearstick down to L but this made no difference. No matter what the car didn't want to go into gear. I only have 4th gear. Parked the car up over Christmas and as of Yesterday I leveled the car on the hoist and checked the fluid level, car was running and in park as stated to do when doing level check. (sealed motor no dipstick) and it was low took about 750mls. I have no idea what is going on with it as when I started it yesterday it was fine then when it heated up and started slipping again.
I've tried searching for an answer on the forums, but all other threads are people who've had slipping issues for a some time before the box finally gave up. In this case, it was sudden.
Note: While I tested it yesterday it shifted with no issues at all. It was all very smooth and pulled really well. It was only after topping up the fluid and letting the car get warm that I couldn’t get it moving again.
Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
