It's on hold

Phil, I may actually get a chance over the next few weeks, but the gearbox problem has to be a priority.

The main problem I face could be that all clutch friction material may have a tenuous grip on the metal parts, and more driving will remove more material.
[As a consequence of the water mixing with the ATF]

If it is the case that the brake band was out of tension and needed adjustment, and that the friction material still remains on the band, then my problem may only be one of adjustment. That's what I'm hoping.

My initial plan is to replace the fluid this weekend, check the filter in the sump while doing so, and adjust the band. If that works and gives me all four gears, then I am good to go .

As I'm sure you realise, testing the remapped TCU while having these physical problems with the transmission will not give us any kind of reliable comparison.

Fingers crossed.

Joe
