Morning Peeps,
Sorr I have been quiet recently, a nightmare time with the house move...
Having had the trrbo replaced on the car (and feeling the extra oomph) my thoughts now turn to the gearbox. Ever since I have had it the gearbox has felt lazy and the engine often feels as though it is labouring. When last at MBS Dave commented that the t/c felt a little slow/ late coming out of lock-up.
So this wekend I shall give the oil a change inc the t/c.
A couple of questions.
1. When I have drained the box, is it simply a case of disconnecting the oil pipe at the cooler and running the engine for a moment (to drain the t/c)?
2. Should I be running any sort of flushing agent through it?
3. If it is still the same after the change, what should the next course of action be (and its not get rid as I have just had it polished).
Many Thanks
Richard
