the mechatronics unit should have been stripped down and thoroughly cleaned by somebody that knows what they are doing, the water would have gotten into the unit and will cause corrosion on the pistons and bores and will burn the trans out at some stage from the valves sticking
lol very true, one of the ones we saw went elsewhere because they were $100 cheaper, did not end up being cheaperr after a reco cradle and remove and refit of bushes etc, last we heard he was going to Vcat
not quite correct Pat, we have seen 2 rear cradles that have been damaged by people using a rather large hammer to insert the bush, it pushes the tower forward quite a way and causes harshness through the car, both cradles require replacement.
A shop I used to work in a while back had a flushing machine, it was recommended to use 20 ltrs of oil for a complete flush but depending on trans condition we found that sometimes as little as 15 litres was required. Draining it and replacing it with the volume of oil that it holds is not flushing it.
correct mate, you want the car customised to your requirements, the better you can describe it to a good suspension guy, the better chance you have of getting what you want, good luck
are you talking one of the 6 bolts on the core? if so you most likely have a cracked housing and the bolt has worked it's way loose and will continue to do so, you are going to need to replace it and check it regularly if you are talking one of the 4 mounting bolts to the manifold, again real common and means you have not been servicing your car correctly
