hi, my tb42 auto takes ages to select reverse when its cold and also slips really bad when its cold. but i when for lash through some mud today and got bogged, now the thing is constantly in third when its in first second and drive, power button doesnt work anymore and the light wont come on....... any ideas, i was thinking about getting a new box?
Doesn't sound good.
What's the condition and level of the fluid?
How do you know it's third gear that it's stuck in?
Maybe time for a auto specialist?
Where are you located?

Hello from Under Down Under!
Hopefully a good service will set it right,
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
oil has just been changed in it and im located in ingham, north of townsville
Was it doing it before the oil was changed?
GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
it would just slip and take ages to go in reverse when it was cold and also now i my taco isnt reading any revs and when i turn the ignition to on i can here something in the gearbox arking or the overdrive trying to engage
Maybe you did some damage to the wiring loom or got mud/water in there?
But taking that long to get into reverse would maybe suggest worn clutch packs??? (I'm no expert!)

thanks fellas, i got another auto i can buy
It sounds like you have a few electrical issues. The tacho gets its feed from your alternator generally and what you describe is happening with your auto sounds electrical too. A thorough going over of all wiring and connections may solve this, could even be an earth missing or damaged. I would have a good look at this first before forking out money for another box it could be a very simple fix.
