I have a BA XR6T with 219k on the clock , car has been faultless , never missed a beat .

 

I just tried to drive it and something is wrong with the auto . In Drive mode , its lost nearly all its power .

 

I can't even make it out of my underground carpark up the inclined ramp  to street level .

 

It happened all of a sudden . 

 

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what is wrong and what I'm up for ?

hmmmmm does it go into reverse?

 

I thought I blew up my ZF in my BF but it was the tailshaft, I assume you didn't hear any bang noises while nailing the throttle in 2nd gear?

 

I would not recommend driving the car until the fluid level of the box has been checked/generally underneath the car.

Yeh it goes fine in reverse and it didn't  make any banging noises at all , no knocking or rattles , nothing .

 

Last time I drove the car it was running perfectly  fine , went to drive it today and the auto is problematic ,  out of nowhere .

 

Okay thanks for the advice  I will look into the fluid level .
