I have an external cooler on my AWD and it makes a world of difference. I got it because I do a bit of towing and long distance driving. I'll be doing a service on my trans when I take the motor and box out sometime next year. I'll be changing the internal filter and a good once over check. I haven't had any real problems, just the occasional flaring when cold, but that is it.
Autotorque in Phillip, ACT did the wave spring for me.
I highly recommend them for this job as so far so good for me.
Yes, fitted at a bit over 90000km. Definitely helps life of ATF even without towing.Quote:

How far is it from where you live?
The replacement on my car took most of a day, however as previously mentioned they pieced the wave spring together and it was complete.
If they piece it together and it is incomplete that suggests a piece is still stuck inside somewhere. This necessitates a transmission removal to search for and as you can imagine by this stage the cost will skyrocket.
Hi Spetz, it was a guy by the name of Josh Pettiford that emailed me the quote, I was so surprised as often I never hear back from mechanics if I email them, the quote was itemized with labour and all the parts required, I was so impressed.Quote:

I will make my mind up over Xmas, it does go better then my KL FWD, it has a larger bore after market exhaust system, sounds good but also quieter then my KL Verada, which still has the factory exhaust system
