Auto Gearbox Problem

[tony68]

Hi all

Need some advice, please

I was driving along like you do but noticed my car was not picking up speed, revs went up mph didn't.

This happened for a few miles, then a crunch/judder abit of light smoke coming from front.

 

Pulled over and tried to reverse, but wouldn't go back at all, got out to push back but stuck/locked in gear(forward/unknown).

lifted bonnet and looks like oil leeked out of gearbox and the gears got stuck in forward ie all 1,2,3,d,n,r,p all go foward.

Car starts 1st time as usual and if press pedal will start to edge forward in any setting.

 

I presume need a replacement automatic gearbox? part? or testing to sort problem?

any idears, got recovered back home. lucky dropped mother-in-law home just before brokedown.

 

Can anyone reccomend someone to do this in the west and east sussex border area please?

and what cost i could expect?

 

Have a mr clutch in shoreham but don't do automatic's
