If it was me, I would get Bristol Transmissions to fit it for you, that way if there is an issue in the future as they guarantee their work. Plus when they have it apart if they find anything else on its way out they will tell you.
They rebuilt my box and fitted a new TC last Sept and its like a new car now.Dale

Dale - how bad was you gearbox? was it a slight judder?
I'm not sure what to do - flush or rebuild - I keep missing out on the flush's in the Midlands.
Also out of interest how long did they keep your car for.

They had the car for 2 days and the judder was only a little at first so I put some Dr Tranny in it and it was grand until I took the caravan to France and then it was really bad even without the caravan. Took it to BT and they checked it out and the TC needed to be replaced and the gearbox needed to be rebuilt.
Since the rebuild its been as smooth as silk and getting better MPG (22 or so with the caravan and 26+ without, sometimes 31).Dale
After some considerations and discussions, mine is now booked in with Steve Norman who has a TC ready. Current plan is to go for a body off job and get some other bits done too.
