Hi Andrew,

If you're saying you have a manual gearbox: Then most probably the clutch is slipping: ie., replacement required.....gearbox out etc.

If we're talking automatic gearbox: Check the fluid level as per your owners handbook(different boxes = different procedures) If the levelis ok, then suggest you unhitch the caravan (!) & see an Auto-Box specialist.

Good luck. Regards. Steve.

Hi Andrew,

Check the transmission oil is at the correct level.

Engine running, and warm, move selector thru ALL gears

two or three times, then check level on dipstick, (engine still

running), and top up as required. BTW it should be blood red if

in good condition.if not change it. And fit an in line oilcooler

to the system, the oil is cooled by the radiator, so when the

box gets too hot it will make the water in the rad boil.

(NOT good for any Surf)

Hope this helps.

Gman.
