As other have said. Become a member and read some of the many comformatic threads. You could well save the joining fee many times over. Other than that Adams and Morley in Portsmouth are the trusted comformatic dealers I believe and that's who I used before we changed vans.

Be warned you may need a stiff drink whilst reading them. Good luck hope you get sorted.

Recently I had issues with my comfortmatic gearbox as a result of contamination in the master/slave cylinder. Had no clutch at all. Had to be recovered to the garage by the AA. Cost £3,800 which fortunately the warranty paid for. The difference in drive quality was amazing. Had it done at Adam’s and Morley in Portsmouth.

My 2009 3 ltr Comformatic had errors, wouldn't go beyond 1st gear. Turned out the brake switch connected to the pedal was faulty. Gearbox ECU assumed brake failure and shut it down to 1st gear, limp mode. I now carry a spare brake switch.....

Hi Has the clutch fluid been replaced every year . This is essential as can lead to sludge and affect the gear changing. First place to look is your service schedule and receipts.

Not true. Clutch fluid does not need replaced every year. Hopefully the ignition switch on/off tips helped because I have had it twice and both times it worked.

Clutch fluid every 2 years and gearbox every 4 years I understood???

Hi does it say on system transmission failure? Are you able to drive it?

Guess I was lucky I took the van out yesterday and all was fine

I had that a few times..... 2 times it wouldn't drive and had it recovered to Adam Morey ( Southampton ) £700, when it happened again, due to this website, took it to Portsmouth..... fine ever since !!!

As do I, belts and braces and all

It's the gearbox actuators that need the fluid checking/changing at 4 years not the gearbox oil.
