Which Auto Gearbox

[Warnesworth]

Hello

 

I have just introduced myself in the newbies section.

 

I have had a search but cannot find the answer to my query;

 

Does the V6 have the JATCO 506E auto gearbox?

 

Thanks

J.

AG5, which is indeed the Jatco 506E.

 

It's not a bad gearbox, just not up to the job of the Galaxy.

Hello

 

Thanks for the response.   What is considered the correct oil for this gearbox, and what can be used as a cheaper alternative?

 

TIA

There's some info on changing the oil in the FAQ section, it's a fairly involved procedure...

It's an ATF with special additives for the the Jatco box, I think you have to use the right stuff from Ford. VW do a version too, I think some have found this a little cheaper.
