Title: Thank you Sassanach
Post by: TheBoy on 25 September 2011, 20:52:14

Nipped down to deepest Wiltshire today, to the resident GM autobox expert, Sassanach.

In no time, the box was off the car, taken apart, and a 'new-ish' thrust washer popped in. Box popped back on, and cats refitted (V6, cats need to come off to drop the gearbox).

Lots learned, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day - excluding the dimwits driving like Miss Daisy ;D

Thanks Sassanach :y

And you could have had mine and the nearly new auto oil pump and done it yourself at home in ten times the time....................

And I can't tell the difference that it's made. I guess that's a really good sign :y

I was able to push it harder on the way home, on the rare occasions that traffic allowed, and can report there were no surprises :y
