BW35 total oil loss
Hi chaps,
Returning from a drive out in my 62 mk2 auto. I had travelled around 20 miles mixed driving when suddenly the revs rose and the speed fell away. I kept revving the engine to no avail.
Pulled over in a cloud of smoke. I got a tow home. The next day I had a chance to look under the car and found the Drivers right side from beyond the gearbox was covered and dripping in ATF. I also found oil that had collected on the right rear wheel. From what I can see I have all the plugs intact and no obvious signs of holes or drip marks. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Cheers H6

Check Breather Tube
i had a similar issue where my car would dump fluid all over my garage floor. Pull the carpet back on the left side of the transmission tunnel. At about calf height there’s a rubber access plug. Remove it and check there is a rubber hose connected from the breather and is complete all the way up to the inner wing in the engine bay. This tube apparently fills with ATF and must be above the level of the outlet on the gearbox. My hose was in about 5 pieces and perished and was not connected at the breather. Problem now solved for me.

Good morning chaps,
Thanks for all your help with this. I have been able to contact a auto box rebuilder who says I can remove the anti creep pressure switch and replace it with a blanking plug.
Hopefully this will be an end to this little problem and I can get the old girl out for the Autumn or fall as some of you guys call it.
Many thanks again
