my ball made of glass isn't working....

Diesel or petrol?
miles on the speedo?

Lambda light is on? (if petrol)

nobody will be able to help you with this kind of disinformation you did give

good luck,Kay

Have you checked the ATF level? Have you done an ATF change? If so what fluid and what method did you use? Are you losing coolant? Do you know what box you have? What engine is it? Did it happen suddenly or come on gradually? Any other running problems? Has the handbrake seized on? Is the overdrive fuse blown? Is the gearbox ECU (if so equipped) fuse blown?

These are just a few of the possibilities. There are plenty of others!

headwind?

gear selector in 2?

Handbrake full on?

32-foot caravan attached?

Brexit protester stuck in wheel arch?

So many possiblities - you are correct Dave!

It's a b200ft Wentworth I think 1994, can't remember the exact year.

I know the "overdrive" has been bypassed so that might be something to do with it

well if the overdrive solenoid has already been bypassed, you have ruled out all the electrical possibilities, leaving only issues with the box itself, but as mentioned, check the box oil, if not red in colour, try a change first.

Derp just spotted that it's not Martin's current car it is one that he is thinking of buying so it is a 1997 B230FK with AW71.
