Ordered a replacement filter and sump gasket set for my automatic gearbox from Dave Kember who advertises in the back of straight 6 news. It arrived today so looks like I'm all set for a coiffure en huile de boîte de vitesse at the weekend, or maybe at Telford if I don't get round to it.
Cost was 30 quid plus postage (35 total IIRC). :y

I was just about to ask the same thing ;)

Does he do a cheap DIS? I might not make it to Telford if I don't get one. Hopefully it will have dried out tomorrow, if not I'm off the road. (Happened suddenly tonight.)

If you haven't already had the level plug out I suggest you do so before dropping the sumps. The one on mine was ridiculously torqued (from the factory I assume) and a couple of other people on here have experienced the same.
Well worth making sure you can get it off before you need it off to refill!
Let me you know how you get on with the Fuch's ATF. :y
-
Will do. :y
A shot or two of Plus Gas on the plug is probably a good idea then.

I have a set of auto gearbox gaskets seating on the shelf since last year... official excuse 'waiting for warmer weather' :(
-
Yeah, it'll be with a certain amount of trepidation, seeing as at 62k it's behaving impeccably, but I think it's got to be done. :-/

Bloody hell, that was tight then :o

Tempted to get one myself ready for Telford, Don't think my box is as good as it should be, plus plenty of help for
if when I get stuck.
If there are a few of us planning on this, is it worth getting a couple of thrust washers just in case? and Is there expertise available to change them?

just a bit, had never been changed at was sat at 91,000 at the time....
some clown at the factory must have thought 'yeah we will have a laugh with this one, lets get the air wrench on this and see how the little bugger struggles'

you'll be hard pressed to change thrust washer at cambelt do i reckon - shear amount of manpower to get box off, unless doug has his lift by then....
-
That answers that then, heres hoping for no dodgy plastic bits!

If one's gone it may well have mullered the facing surfaces too, so not a 10 minute job even when you've got the gearbox open to do it properly.
Still, better to know about it before it hits the fan.

Not sure about that. Way I see it, might as well wait for the tranny to fall out the bottom. :-/
