P0730 = Incorrect Gear Ratio

Sammy - you must get hold of a dipstick or make one & get the level correct at the correct temperature.

It's all explained in splinter's thread in the DIY stickies.

Otherwise you might be heading for a new conductor plate.

You should always look at the TCU electrohydraulic bush connector for leaks. The dipstick bottoms on a plate in the transmission. All you need are the low & high measurements from the tip back. Someone has posted them before - I think splinter. You could straighten out a wire coat hanger & mark it.
