Glad I didn't try to do it myself as I don't have the tooling required and wouldn't have identified the lube valve leak.
The service was great, the guy was extremely knowledgeable and has a machine shop aswell. So reaming if required is a peice of cake. I asked if they had oil for purchase, he had genuine LG6. Told me they tried other oils in a 6hp26 in a Falcon and it was showing signs of wear. Had brass shavings from thrush washers in the pan at service time. He also services a taxi at 40k intervals which saw 900,000ks before sold off without any work to the trans.
Feels better already on the quick test drive. I'll chime in next week once it's had time to figure it self out and see how it's going. Mine's always been serviced since I have had it. All my seals inside were still nice and flexible.. Nothing stiff and brittle for me.
