Glad to see you on here Phil!
Where is the best place to get the correct ATF and what is the part number I tried TPS and the guy was useless and tried to supply me with EP90 gear oil Cheers Dave

I usually get mine from ‘theappledorn’ on eBay. It’s currently priced at £11.49/litre with free postage. The only alternative to Mobil ATF LT71141 is ZF Lifeguard Fluid 5 which is manufactured for ZF by Pentosin in Germany, but it’s hard to get hold of in the UK anyway.
 These are the only fluids you should use in your 5HP24A. Never use fluids that claim to be ‘equivalent’ or ‘recommended’ or similar wording. The friction modifier pack used in the fluid has been developed specifically to give the necessary static to dynamic friction characteristics required for the correct operation of the torque converter lock-up clutch when operating in its ‘continuous slip’ mode  The ZF document TE-ML11 provides other car manufacturer part numbers for LT71141/Lifeguard Fluid 5 but I expect that all of these will be more expensive than £11.49/litre   Phil

The cheapest place I found Mobil ATF LT71141 was Opie oils. Worked out to about £9/litre when I purchased 12.

Hi Phil,
Brown would make sense. It also means that no one has serviced that gearbox in it's lifetime! About 230K on the box! Any idea on what swapping the bodies would do or if it is possible ? Lee

I don't know of any reason you can't put the newer valve block assembly on the older transmission. The differences between them are internal so the interface should be identical. I guess it's possible that the ECU runs a different calibration, but I doubt it.
