It is official. New trans going in tomorrow according to my service advisor (via voice mail)!

I left him a voice mail to suggest that they inspect all of the driveline components for damage that the faulty trans may have caused. Should be interesting to hear the response on that.

Looks like I've avoided some tranny maintenance! Glad I hadn't done it prior to getting this sorted out. I can hear the arguments now...
