Glas to hear it was sorted.
Do you know whether the replacement transmission at 84k was a new or reconditioned box?

The Previous Owner assured me it was a reconditioned box.
The receipt I have from 2011 certainly seems to bare that out, if a little on the cheap end. It states that a reconditioned unit was fitted at a total cost of AU$4610 with the reconditioned transmission costing AU$3620. Considering ZF's distributer wanted $7000+... However with labour at $120 per hour in any decent tranny shop, $3620 buys an awful lot of time and many parts in the transmission would be perfectly serviceable. If they reused the Valve body for instance, there's a $2500 saving on the cost of a new one.
