Follow up: the box is back in the car and works fine again. The only problem I have (like before) is that if the box is half warm, it refuses to go in the second gear. If I select D2 and then D1 again the problem is gone for the rest of the ride. I could live with it, but is that something with...

Ok, I'll do the same.

I'm rebuilding the box, replaced the clutches and bands. Only, I found the front band being of the old rigid type, while I ordered the flex type. According to the seller they are interchangeable, so I went on. But now the pushrod is too long (.215), it already applies pressure if I tighten the...

I'll do the minimal 'overhaul', the box worked fine anyway until this happened. Except for some leakage, which I'll try to solve also. I hope the surface has not damaged, but I'll see to that when I get there.

Ok, this means the box has to come out. That would be my first overhaul of an automatic gearbox. Is there a workshop manual you would advise on?

This was behind it, and in the sump. I assume that it's from the clutch plates?

It's pretty obvious...

I'll do that, but it might take some time before I get to it.

The diagnosis fits the symptom perfectly, I know what to do now. Thank you very much for this information!

Ok, you mentioned that the servos can be fixed with the box in place, but if the servo came too far out the band will probably need to be replaced. Can this also be done with the box in place (I guess not)?

Yes, I just tried it, it brakes quit severely and makes a bit of a whining noise. When it is almost stopped, it releases again.

It has PRND2D1L, and L works, so not original I guess. The box does shift into 2, but I get the impression that it does not release the first gear at that moment. The car slows down (pretty hard), until a speed is reached where it shifts down (releases the second gear). Then it goes up again...

Hello, I have a Rover P6 from '71 with a BW35 gearbox. It has a problem, It will stay in 1st gear when the 2nd is engaged. I can drive in L position. If I select D1, it pulls away, until 2nd gear is engaged, then it slows down until it switches back, then the process repeats again. When I try to...
