GU1 Auto Trans not engaging

[my third 256]

Interesting! I can’t imagine why they would change the colour, but it looks like they have. Sorry for the bum steer.

people were getting confused with radiator coolant thats why it was changed this is what i was told

Well, the box died today. Same as before but now only 1st, 2nd and reverse. Extreme AT ordered from Wholesale Auto and delivered next week.

That is all.

That is all.

Well, not quite.The new AT is in and it is SWEET

The problem with the old one. The (stupid plastic) radiator sprung an internal leak in the tranny cooler section, pressurised the ATF system and mixed water with the ATF, then the AT died (took about two months). The radiator is bypassed for the moment and using the cooler only till a new aluminium radiator is fitted.

On the GU the breathers are mounted inside the LH guard and can't been seen. Eventually I had a "mud" like liquid throughout the LH wheel arch that smelt and felt of oil but no obvious cause (till now).

So a word of warning to auto drivers with stupid plastic radiators. An internal leak can be EXPENSIVE! Better to spend a grand now than six later.

I thought the auto cooler lines in the radiator were metal or at least the two ends are? The bottom tank should not get hot enough to cause a problem with the metal cooler inside??
If somebody knows for sure would be good to know?

Have missed your updates, sorry to hear it eventually failed completely

Might of cost you some pretty pennys but at least you have it sorted now.

Did you install it yourself or get someone to fit it? In other words.......................any pics?????

G'day Todd. Some pics are here. Fitted by my mechanic with my assistance (I cleaned up and held the spanners).
