Steamyrotter is on a distinguished road
Well an update...

Gearbox now back together apart from the filter and sump pan.
All new clutch packs, pistons and seals done.
Top hat bush fitted to worn section of valve body accumulator (Photos to follow when i have uploaded them from the camera)

Got torque convertor back from repair. (took it in Friday, they had it finished by mid day Saturday but didn't have my phone number to let me know. Very good service in my mind to get it done so quick. Well happy)
Reported that the friction lining had disintegrated and was running metal on metal. Explains a lot.

All fluid turned up today (Dexron VI) 12 litres so should be enough (I Hope!!)

Just awaiting the couplings for the secondary transmission fluid cooler as supplier didn't fully understand my request as i had to do it over the phone.

Should get the box back in during the next couple of evenings and top up all fluids. Then hopfully back on the road by the weekend.
Unfortunately then have to tax the thing
