Just heard from where my car is, they are great there. Trans hose has come off/broken. So he's ordered what needs and service kit. I'm worried as to why it would blow a hose after being rebuilt only 16000km or so ago!

Can happen with any hose application. A shonky hose clamp for instance???
Disturb it once & bingo! Why it came good & then failed again is anybody's guess I suppose unless there was a floating block there.
What did Michael think the cause was?
Those factory hoses have a terrible swage fitting and it fails at random periods.Quote:

Hi,
Wasn't the Pontiac car a similar hoist of a First Nations' identity and had a profile image as its logo?
I am not all that PC, but think it is now time to sift some of these naming practices from being misused.
Cheers
