camdawgs Member 49 Member For: 13y 3m 19d Posted 07/03/12 11:26 AM Share Posted 07/03/12 11:26 AM just a bit of an update. dont around 1000kms since servicing my box with Guld Western. At the moment I ma noticing, alot more than before . Large thudds at gear changes. Under small loads of boost and large, both on drive and performance mode> more so in performance.Slowing down in performance, 2nd to 1st is always lurchy and when giving it a boot the thudd it gives when dropping back is definetly noticeable.Also the their seems to be an increased "Burning smell" or at least a smell of the something heating up when even just giving it very little amounts of stick for short periods of time.When I service the car this weekend il get my mechanic mate to have a look at the fluid and box when we put it over the pit.

Also try taking the bung out just a little and have a smell of the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.Who has had this done in Brisbane? Flush, pan, filter, oil etc?How much did it cost?Where did you get it done?What parts and oil did you use? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiWoD-6T Bronze Donating Members 6 Member For: 13y 10m 27d Posted 14/04/12 06:32 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 06:32 AM Which gasket does everyone use? I've been told that there is a paper one and a rubber one? Which is the best for the plastic pan or the steel pan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riptide Member 733 Member For: 14y 1m 19d Gender: Male Location: Auckland, New Zealand Posted 14/04/12 06:48 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 06:48 AM I think the metal pan has the paper gasket and the plastic pan has the rubber one. The pan must be done up properly with a torque wrench in the right order if using the metal pan with the paper gasket or it will leak. I won't be using those pricks again Metal pan you can replace the filter yourself. Plastic pan it's built in. I think it's actually possible to hack the original plastic pan to fit a filter in. I saw a thread on here somewhere about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
