Thanks MDTM and LB66
« on: 28 April 2007, 20:32:18 »
Damn decent chaps.  They insisted on 'helping' change the fluid in the tractor's gearbox, despite my objections  :P

Then Marks_DTM was insistant on sorting out the EGR valve (stripped thread), so obviously I had to let him...

In all seriousness, thanks to M_DTM and Laidback66 - it was a job I don't think I could of done on my own.  The box changes much, much better. Still got a naff change point map, I think GM need to do more work on that, but the change is much smoother without the clunking/surging :y

We also found why the gearchange was far from smooth...

So thanks again, really appreciated :y :y
(and anytime you fancy doing the MV6, you only need to ask  ::))

Why wasn't the gearchange smooth before Jaime?

The atf, had there been any in there, would have been dark brown and 'well used'....

Oh, and I forgot, the pair of them also helped fix the check strap on the drivers door. Top blokes :y (and my shins thank you as well!)

Welcome mate. :)

Now when Mrs DTM is again in a good mood ( :P) we need to nip round there and sort the ATF change on your MV6, ideally while Mark is busy on replacing his kitchen!  ;)

If the gasket is not welded to the gearbox it should only take a couple of hours.

and the plug is not seized...

So can we determine Mrs DTM's mood by the biscuit layout?  ;D
