The day arrived on Saturday. Arrived at 9am. We hooked up with Launch ATF machine. All brand new. New sump, rectangular adapter seal, 4 housing sleeves, plug sleeve, new bolts. 16 litres of Lifeguard 6. (a couple of extra just in case) Bit fiddly getting the lines hooked up to the oil cooler pipes. Added the Launch flush cleaner. Ran it through the gears for 10 minutes. Drained 4 litres through the Launch. Torx screws were such a pain. 3 had to be forced out due to the heads stripping. He broke 2 torx pieces! But all out eventually. New ones have much bigger torx heads! Dropped the sum to drain the other litre. Loosened some of the screws on the unit, another litre or 2 must have drained from that too. Then we started with the output seal. removed the driveshaft ****** etc. Popped out the rear seal and this is where it went wrong. Wrong size seal!!!! So drove away in the courtesy car. New seal being delivered tomorrow! He'll drop the mechantronic unit today and replace the rectangular seal, plug sleeve, 4 housing sleeves and sump. once the output seal arrived he'll replace that then begin with the full exchange of the oil tomorrow.
