They aren't horrendously expensive, I think $50-60 a piece.

Slunnie, I've been through three NSW rego checks including the initial Blue Slip to transfer the rego from the NT and none of them have worried about the boots either, as there's no play

I've put it off as everyone says it's a **** of a job and I dont have half my tools here or a workshop anymore.

And I'm lazy. [emoji56]

I think considering how few km mine does, that I'll probably leave it until later also. I'll buy the parts so that they are ready to go when its time.

Serviced Larrabbee, found a broken exhaust stud sitting by aircon compressor, #1 and a coolant leak up inbetween 4&5 exhaust manifold, is it a welch plug in there? Looks like it has a recessed allen key type head?

The workshop knew about this, and after my last service actually offered to re-do the TQ seal gratis.

While the auto-trans gearbox and transfer case were out, I also had the leaking transfer case overhauled with a new reseal kit (at my expense).

Also had the condition of the RotoFlex joint on the rear end of the tail shaft checked and found OK.

I had long been fed up with making a mess wherever I parked, and the uneasy feeling that I would gradually be losing ATF and gear oil onlong trips.

It's great to have a car (that I think is) in mechanically sound condition throughout, and now drops no oil of any kind, and loses no coolant.

Hi Andrew, I have had the same problem, my gearbox has always been leaking AT fluid ever since I have my gearbox serviced and HD torque-converter fitted. I actually had a friend (bit anal) complain that my car always leaves a mess whenever I go round. Topping up the gearbox is a pain in the arse job as well, I don't like being under the car with someone going through the gears. How big a job is it to get it fixed ? I am at the point where I am going to take the car back to the gearbox specialist who fitted it, but it was over 2 years ago so sure they won't do it for free ?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Matt.

If it's only been leaking since the work was done then the places it's likely to be leaking from are .
Input seal ( gearbox out ).
cooler pipes into box ("0" rings, doable in car )
Sump pan gasket ( easy )
degrease it and have a look , noting that the input seal will leak from the bell housing.
really should have taken it back when you first noticed it , they won't do it gratis now
