Thanks, but we really need to see if others have the same result before celebrating.

Wow thats a breakthrough that a few guys here in the UK will be pleased to hear of (as usual PaulW is keeping us "on top").

Default ToZo & Paulw

Tozo....what might he charge for such a service? Paul if this seems to work out you should link it to your "pages"

Default Don't worry, there will be a posted procedure

That's why I want to use the same guy as tozo....he's in Chicago and from what tozo tells me, has a lot (something like 20 years) experience with trannies.

With the additional steps of prepping the surface and cleaning, I would like to see the whole thing documented.

If somebody charges you $150 labor to do the tranny fluid/filter change, I don't think it will double that price, plus there is the price of the gasket goop, another $25. Plus you have the filter, gasket and oil.

Default Someone who has developed a relationship with ZF should call them and get their thoughts.

I would love to hear what they had to say about this.
