took my pearlie for a 500-600 kms round trip to drop some rims for tony at matts place , trans was acting kinda weird the whole way , randomly downshifting and flaring so i used manual mode to hold the gears instead . i gave her a bit of a boot to over take a few cars a couple of times and it would go to 2nd and hit the limiter so i would back off , got home started the car to go to work and now the shifts are very strong and clunky like , before hand it would be like it was slipping between shifts now its just goin 1st-clunk straight to 2nd-clunk straight to 3rd , any ideas whats goin on ? maybe the lines were partially blocked and the bit of a bootfull cleared them out a bit ?

maybe try flushing the oil with dex3, do another 200km, then fill it with transmaxJ

i was going to give the trans some new oil but now its stalls in any gear , starts fine in P and N but put it into a gear and it just stalls out , only other weird thing i have noticed is that the power steering makes it drop revs a lot when in N or P which only started doing that tonight when i tried to drive home from work , it is stuck in the carpark at my work

guess i i should just un rego it and save for a 5 speed wreck to convert it if its not something cheap and simple

CHeck all the engine and transmission plugs under the bonnet. Could be that when the pulled the engine they didn't push the plugs fully in. You have 4 under the snorkle on the drives side and the transmission ones on the other side.
