What's the service history of your gbox and how many kms now?
G'day Graeme, no idea on the box. 260k and it has the metal pan so assuming it has at least been done once...Quote:

Is that 4.5k all inclusive?
Just drained out 5 l of tranny oil, had been done relatively recently. No shavings and oil pretty clear, looks like it's the TC.
Plus removal and refit $1000-1500. The $4500 incl tranny oil.
What's it doing? My trannys internals were ok but the output shaft and TC input gear wore away as no lubrication applied. Here's a pic.

The ZF rebuild cost includes a new (not remanufactured) torque converter - well mine did 2 years ago.
Assuming fault codes have been stored, what do they suggest?
That could have been more than 160k ago!Quote:

If I turn the car off and back on, it's gone, but inevitably returns. Sometimes it will run fine around town for 15-20 mins and then it rears its ugly head again only to go away for another 10 mins repeat.
I have no issue with gears slipping, shudder etc. Car drives well and is smooth.
I have sprayed all the belts, changed the alternator (which needed to be changed anyway), checked the vacuum hoses and changed out the diff oils.
I am presently in the middle of doing two tranny flushes. Oil looks ok - no frags.
