I guess that’s enough of a catch up haha, will try to keep the thread regularly updates from here on in, thanks everybodySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

December 5, 2016 at 6:37 pm #20905Have been working on trying to fix a gearbox leak. It’s coming from the top cooler line on the box. I’ve got some o rings to put in between the line and the fitting but cannot for the life of me get in there to even get a spanner on it let alone undo fit an o ring then refit.
Any tips?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Suggest for your own sanity that you replace the hard lines with braided items. It means you can drop the trans and undo the lines as they are flexible, rather than fighting for hours with the trans in place.
