If its just the gearbox and not the trans box with it then i have one here if you want it.The trans box is still on it but a part at the back is broken but the gearbox should still be ok tho

As Richard said, the transmission fluid needs checking first as it is the cause of nearly all auto transmission problems.

Check the level with the engine running by the way in case you didn't know.

been done and serviced

Was it working properly before the service ?

Was it serviced by a reputable company/person ?

It's not that simple to replace all the ATF in a Surf - for the sake of 5 minutes of your time check the ATF level and condition. If you're not familiar with the EXACT procedure do a search on the forum

As others have said, check the fluid level.

Make sure that the engine and gearbox are up to temperature and then with the handbrake on and your foot on the foot brake move the gear lever slowly back and forth through the different positions. Then put it in Park with the engine still running and get out and check the Hot level mark.

The next step is to carry out the diagnostics test and count the number of flashes.

The engine check light is for the engine, the O/D light flashing is for the transmission faults.

I can't belive Stevo didn't know this.

All you need is a paperclip, straighten it out and poke it into the terminals as shown in the diagram, make sure the overdrive button is off, switch on ignition and count how many times the O/D light flashes.
It will flash a number of times, then go off for a couple of seconds and flash another number of times. Just make a note of the first amount off flashes then after the pause, the second amount of flashes. The two numbers you have will be the fault code. Just look at the codes list to see what you have.
It'll save you loads of cash/time and we'll take it from there.
