The problem here is the loss of your vehicle for what could be a couple of weeks whilst you refurb the transmission, whether you pull it apart yourself or send it in.Arudge, that's as I expected. well similar response anyway.
Of course if the same box went in to so many vehicles picking up a good 'un at a reasonable price would be easy.
Thanks again, now I know that I need to be specific with a search or get this one refurbed, that's probably favourite after a Star check confirms what seems reasonable to expect.
If they were stretch bolts you'd have to replace them.I've read that there is no need to replace the sump bolts. With such a low torque applied I can see that they would be stretch bolts anyway, true?
Pretty hard to say but I'd expect it would be warm enough after 10-15 miles. You can 'force' heat into the transmission by holding it on brakes and increasing the engine speed (called a stall test) but its not recommended to do that more than 5 seconds at a time to prevent excessive localised heat build up.And as my iCarsoft doesn't read out ATF temperature, How long to warm it through?
