not hard, just messy....

gotta drop the 2 sumps, clean or replace the filter.
reassemble
fill with new atf - like fuchs titan 4000
while car level, and running, and after going through all the gears, fill till atf trickles out the level plug,  refir plug and job done.

should have also said see stickies in the parts for sale area..

we have discounts from opie oils for the fluid, and JPAT for new gaskets and filter if you want one.

Incredibly messy job but not that difficult, can be made much cheaper by cleaning the filter with parafin and using instant gasket as opposed to a new Vaux one.

Made a big difference to mine :y
