What year Wingroad!
Which engine gearbox combo.
(ie. the 2000cc has the CVT trans. The 1500cc and 1800cc have 4 spd autos till 2005)

2008 and it needs a new gearbox! that doesn't sound too good
morrisman1, May 15, 12:22am
2008 could be either CVT or 4 speed auto. You need to identify what sort it is first. Has it been serviced lately!
johnf_456, May 15, 1:55am
Has it being serviced at all!
morrisman1, May 15, 1:56am
Thats what Im thinking. or if it is CVT then has it had standard trans fluid put in it
alfredtonroad, May 15, 5:57pm
serviced every 5000km, automatic, don't know wot cvt is!
johnf_456, May 15, 5:59pm
Serviced by who! I have a feeling its cvt with the wrong fluid put in. Is 50,000 including the gearbox!
40wav, May 15, 6:03pm
Surely that wouldnt include the gearbox every time!
alfredtonroad, May 15, 6:07pm
no gearbox not serviced every 5000km.mechanic said gearbox oil not changed as servicebook says only needed if driven in extreme conditions, eg desert or snow conditions.
johnf_456, May 15, 6:08pm
Theirs your problem! It should have being changed at some point.
alfredtonroad, May 15, 6:13pm
is the mechanic at fault & wot are my options!
johnf_456, May 15, 6:14pm
Get a 2nd opinion, but most likely the whole box will need to come out and be replaced. Gearbox repairs can be costly. Doing 129,000km with no fluid change is asking for issues.
morrisman1, Feb 23, 10:52am
transmission fluid should have been changed at 60,000km. thats for the 4 speed auto. I dont know about the CVT but it will probably be the same
