Houston - we have no problems.

Changed the Trans oil twice now and happy to report all is good to go for take off!
1st flush was a bit crappy, 2nd flush was much cleaner, now able to report Nesco box is performing well. :-)
Shame we can't re-use the 2nd flush as it seems fairly clean apart from slight Neptune metalic looking mix when stirred anyhow, I've filtered the 2nd flush oil twice and will keep it for "other things".

Edit: Having problems finding the Mobil 1 MX4T specified so I've moved over to Shell Advance Ultra 10w-40 Full synthetic ~ and she seems happy enough. :-)

Hi,

You previously mentioned it took about 10 mins to get drive to engage, do you get Drive engaging sooner from start?

Seems a bit quicker but the summer heat drifting up from Africa might be the reason, still happy to sit on the drive for 5 ~ 10 mins and grin at the V8 wiggle.
