Gearbox Oddities

[ulfilias]

Hi There,

I run a small manufacturing company and we are pretty quiet at the moment, so I have it at work. Bought a pair of decent axel stands, though I also have jacks under and a couple of other saftey precautions. Would kill for ramps at the moment.....I did almost contemplat fitting a two post one in our loading bay, but they tend to run to about a grand and they would possibly get in the way of the forklift and the like

This morning I now have the PF car to the same point with the valve body out. This was easier to do as you don't have two bars crossing under the sump.

The oil is pretty clean, though it has only done about a thousand miles since it got changed and all in 4th or reverse!

The magnets have a bit of sludge, but no metal. However after removing the valve body, whatever that sensor is on the top jutting up (I'm guessing speed related) had 4-5 bits of 3-4mm metal stuck to it!!!

While I know the error is with Solenoid 3. That can't be helping

I will have a look better at what i can see inside the box after lunch!
