Looks like the last trip has hurt the patrol a little.
The last few days on the trip it wouldn't move when in drive and cold, but once the trans was up to temp it was fine. It also worked in 1st and 2nd but not in drive while cold.
So I spoke to a couple auto builders and both said it sounds like one of the seals has given up out of just age. They were surprised that I've got that many kms out of it. For those who don't know it's got 580,000 and an unopened tb45.
Been priced around the 4500-5000 for a rebuild. This has got me thinking, I want to get it built to suit the longer trips that we have been doing, then I got thinking about how much longer this engine will last and this has brought me to getting the auto built to suit a LS.
Even if the LS doesn't happen and the old donk keeps on rolling at least the auto will be up to the task.
Best I stop thinking...
