After putting in 15liters(i only got 15l (£60)) of ATF the colour did start to change!!! The dipstick is now the right colour mind the stuff coming out was like used oil.

The gear change is now good!!! But when driving hard it won't change down in till I take my foot of the gas!! It just revs drops revs drops

Err any ideas haven’t done the PNP switch could this fix it?

Chris you can clean the PNP switch.....Did this on mine and i swear it makes a smoother change when driving.

Sit in the car and go through the selector from Park to Low back and forth about 30 odd times and this is meant to clean the switch, seemed to work for me. Give it ago, you never know ! DB.
