And the order list for parts was long...Immediately after buying I changed the atf and all was good with the box,so I decided to change every part thats faulty and bringing her in order... And she worked flawless.until this hot summer here in Europe +40c.And now my biggest nightmare came true the gearbox/ valve body... When I saw the gearbox and valve body complexity on you tube I was white like a ghost:-) to me it looked like an open heart surgery,and the guy dismantled the transmission only with one screwdriver :-) I removed the splashguard yesterday and the bolts on the box valve body pan were rusted and looked like I cant even make them loose ( never tried to unbolt them) dont have vida btw... I go to dealership for the vida they dont charge me they are my friends,but not very helpful friends, because they dont know the gearbox never worked on transmissions.So again astro u are giving me the courage to do a complex valve body maintenance but I'm not too sure in my self doing it...thank you very much guys for the help,but I dont know what to do? This weekend im planing to d&f once again and put a in-line magnefine and atf cooler and see from there on? Wtf ??? :mad:
