Hi,
I am new to the forum , I have a 2001 Jimny Auto and when driving the Jimny seemed to lose power and was crawling even when foot pedal
pressed to floor, I pulled over and after 30 min tried again.All was good until after 300 metres the problem returned.This happens after a minute of driving.If I wait 20 or 30 min it is normal again until.
The mechanic told me I need my transmission rebuilt but I suspect a sensor.
What do you guys think?
Pull the box dipstick and check the colour of the oil. If really black then it will need replacing. Smell it and if it smells burnt then the clutches have probably worn out and it will need a rebuild/swap

In the first post it was difficult to ascertain if it was engine or box related. If you had defined the engine revs as opposed to power then it would have pointed to the engine i.e engine revving high but car going slow seemingly with no power or pedal to the floor but engine not revving. Still a cat defect will be cheaper than a box defect which is good for you.
