LEEWTV1 · 09-11-2013, 18:44

Job done got some pics i will post later it took around 8hrs ish in total and that's a heavy piece of metal woooo couldn't get a crank seal until Tuesday so checked the original and was totally dry.
It sort of went like clock work really needed 2 transmission jacks to hold that beast. The torque converter bolts where a bit fiddley
So total cost to date
truck £500
autobox £414 (with delivery)
still a decent mistral

So thank you for all the help and advice from you's if your ever in my area please drop by

A very big well done, and only 8 hours, did you have help? and I guess you are a tad younger than me, but you are right it is a heavy lump, regards Rick
