Hi John, yes thats exactly what i have found out since this all started, they do not take kindly to being idle. I wish now i had not wasted a year being chased up different garden paths with most people around me telling me it is an engine problem - i always suspected the gearbox from the start - wh...

So had the call today - 'box is out, stripped. They found reverse and top clutch bands (quote) 'burnt right out'. Along with the usual seals and gaskets all shot. Still would not state that is my issue, but to me it sounds absolutely it. Top gear clutch band burnt out - i would assume thats why i ha...

I have since looked on CW website and he does do bushes , a few choices so i am not quite sure which one is applicable to mine - i was not aware of that part, so hopefully resolved, assuming they can remove the original bush. I maybe should of checked there first before the ' panic' message here but...

Just had the call from Trans company - they are struggling to remove my damaged flex plate - bolts are out, but the way he was describing the set up is their appears to be some kind of bush, from the converter, then i assume through the plate and going in to the crank. He says it wont budge, and doe...

Had the call today, they have took it out for the test drive.....my question is, this time - with an Auto in 'D' - should this car be able to take off, from a standing start, and drive throughout the speed range , no matter the terain, and just drive it normally, as in accelerate to go, ease off to ...

Hopefully just sent you a p.m. - let me know if got it, was not too sure if i have done it correctly!!!!

I agree! The car goes in the morning for the big ( probably expensive) trip to the transmission repair shop so it will be an interesting few weeks methinks - see what they come back with....i believe they do a test drive before anything so im really keen to see if they can get it to travel over 50 m...

Another small but annoying job sorted ! So yes those screws do indeed hold the bracket and union/ gasket to the body. Impeller was fine, so carefully eased off the gasket with a sort of ' backplate' to expose the inner face of the union and sure enough there was another small dollop of gloop. Was no...

Yes, i noticed the gasket. Right, so nothing to lose then, by unscrewing the 3 small phillips screws. And see what i see... as an aside, how many second hand ones do you have in stock i did wonder about an air line blow through?
