Wishing you a speedy recovery Tins, along with a speedy exit from Hospital.

Today's diagnostics:
Checked bell housing thru inspection plate everything looks fine and connected.
Sump was full, no leaks and clean underneath, i had just pressure washed before we left.
Loosed a cooler line while running and nothing came out.
Dropped the sump and checked the filter and pickup were seated ok and tight, no floaties or sparklies. Had just had a new filter before we left.
Leaves pump or Torque converter pump flanges.
My scan tool talks to the gearbox TCM but doesn't give any error codes and displays gear selection on the dash ok.
So still looks like a box coming out. Going to make up a cradle to bolt to the box and transfer case that i can use to get it out onto the ground with.
Working without out a hoist and nice concrete floor inside a shed is the pits.
Even had the apprentice helping today.

Just realised I never replied with the result.
Box came out, bent flex plate, flanges on torque converter had chewed the the pump flanges so no pump drive.
New Flex plate, S/H pump, reco converter, flush and new filter. Has just come back from a week away towing 2T van with no gearbox issues.
Going down the performance upgrade rabbit hole now.....
