Don't panic I know its easy for me to say, but with the help of these guys on here you will get there. Dont know much about transmisions but it does sound like fluid level is the issue seeing as you drained and refilled.

Good Luck ..

Do you mean a rapid clicking sound when you turn the key?

Charge your battery/ies or make sure the terminals are tight.

Right then, lets start again. Does the engine start? you're not being clear enough in that regard.

Could it be that the starter is not engaging correctly ? or the flywheel is worn ?

thats what me thinks, because starter does start to turn engine only for a short bit.... but why would it stop working all of a sudden it was all fine last nite!!!

Thats how it goes I'm afraid my starter died with no warning at all. Its not to bad a job to take off as mine was off three times.What do you think Vince ?

Just a thought, but you have replaced the engine oil?

Just thinking of the easy things to check before you panic.
