hey mate just a query have you tried adding a manual lockup switch for the TC as taslucas and I have experienced issues with flaring with the TC in the past and I added one to force lockup when this occurred and found the flaring would disappear after I manually locked the TC
there are a few threads around for doing this might be worth checking out as it is an easy job for the DIY

Hi mate, can you check something for me when you have time
The Gearbox dipstick does it have "HOT" written on one side and "Cold" written on the other side?
The Engine Oil dipstick does it have "FULL and "LOW" written on it
Yes the Engine oil Dipstick has a code/number on it where else the transmission has no code/number on it
I found your photo's of the dipsticks strange as mine have 2 different types of handle
This is my gearbox oil dipstick handle

My engine oil dipstick has only the letters - F for full (or H - high? only an hour ago I checked & forgot already) and L for low

"HOT" written on one side and "Cold" written on the other side - as you describe.

Can someone please send me a link for a GQ? Preferably with easy to understand instructions.
Also, beside cost, what is better about the DIY method? Are the switches you can buy online any different?
Thanks...

Hey mate, I can't post a link at the moment as I'm on my phone but if you use the search function on this forum you should find a few threads about these switches including a DIY. There was a very in depth diy done a while ago. Try searching for lockup switch, TC lockup, lockup solenoid bypass etc.....

Some light reading for you Craig, the only difference I would see between a bought one and a do it yourself is the cost, I don't think there would be any real difference
Hopefully ripper or chaz will see this and comment
Cheers
