Strawberry Milkshake killed my Auto - suggestion for a new Auto for GU II ? SE QLD

Went for a lovely drive through Keyholes on Straddie on the weekend, but turned out I had a split in my breather hose so my transmission fluid became a lovely strawberry milkshake :1092:

Was hoping a flush would do the trick, but she's gone. Guess I should have got it towed home rather than driving it home at a snails pace. But after the flush still can't get past 2nd.

So looks like rebuild time. Anyone recommendations for auto transmissions in SE QLD (Gold Coast -> Brisbane) ?

Or any suggestions of putting something else in there (donk is an n LS1).

Or anyone selling one?

Lesson there for everyone I think...

breather pipes on most of the autos scary things they just suck and suck when hot

I for one would, now knowing the possible consequences. Not that I own an auto, but I'm well aware of the implications.

What engine?

Must be the only person as no one Ive ever gone 4x4ing with have never got out checked their breather hoses got back in and driven a water crossing.
It may be something you do every year or so. Since fitting my breathers Ive never checked them, not say thats a good thing. I use teflon tubing
so very hard to split.

Would be nice with a 6 speed behind a LS1 what a low first that would be,,,,,??????

If you change your box you will need to get a different adapter.

Rebuilding the auto will be around $4k ( personal experience)

2nd hand box will easily be around the same mark, but for a 2nd hand box

Yeah the LS1 only went in in June and breather was fine then. But yeah will look at that teflon solution.

Yeah thinking 6 speed, drove one a couple weeks back while it was being programmed.

$4K - ouch, I've got 2 quotes for rebuilds for under $3K fitted (both reputable transmission places) - so will see how much a 6 speed will cost.
