Going to rebuild the transmission, so the quickest way to remove it was to remove the tranny and engine complete. Took 1.5 hours. Gota love a non standard engine that is basically self contained.

Another update.............. Just went for a drive to the shops. It was nice to drive it again. Unfortunately there is a small coolant leak around the water pump. Strange as it didn't leak before... More investigation needed.. Still need to get another muffler as I can't hear it change gears and I haven't connected the Tach yet..

I'm over the moon. Found the problem with the auto not shifting correctly. It had no power. Bloody electronics. All good now.


Now if I shift the auto to first manually it goes like a rocket.

More video's to follow..
