- All cooling hoses, radiator, etc
- Serviced the transmission - ATF & filter change, changed the mechatronic sealing sleeve which leaked. Had about 1 qt less then what I pumped in
She's driving like a dream now, no more smoke of shame. Gears change very smooth  |
Wow... lots of work. Nicely done. I still have this job to look forward to. Thinking about doing the valve seals at the same time as upper timing cover gasket, VC gaskets, etc. Doubt they have been changed at 109,000 miles when I purchased it. Might have to do the coolant pipe as well... just as precaution, doesn't leak coolant (yet).
