Hi all, has anyone had problems with fiat 9 spd auto box? We are travelling up through Germany and the other day moving slow in traffic it changed down twice with a real lump, ie not smooth as it was previously, After a while of slow moving congestion got going on an open road and approaching 60mph the eml came on with transmission warning & reduced power/wouldn’t change gear in manual or auto.I pulled of at next exit and motor sounded abnormally noisy. I switched off and had a look for leaks etc, nothing apparent so began looking at handbook. Only thing I found was a transmission overheating warning. I let it cool down for about 15 mins and restarted , it sounded ok but eml still on. Drove off and all good. Eml remained on for next 2 days . On third day it went off on start up. Done around 150 miles since with no problem. I can only think it sensed transmission oil temp too hot, has anyone had similar issues?

Mines only done 14k and I drive it carefully so don’t expect problems. I will investigate further when home next week

Mine has 6.5k now and has performed perfectly : including some long and over 30 degrees air temperature climbs in the Pyrenees recently.

I think I read a post by Lenny HB about a 9spd box that was changed due to being delivered with insufficient oil in the box. He may be able to clarify.

The 9 speed has to work particularly hard on the 140 engine due to the lack of torque.
