Trip to the country

Good wrecker at that money as a minimum.

Have you got an external tranny cooler on the 4L60E? If you don't you need it or you'll need a new box soon. Those 4L60E boxes won't survive too long towing without one, plus Valvoline maxlife fluid too if you can.

Just went out front - no cooler! Im spewing i thought it had one. I just serviced the box with this crud that my mate buys in from the arabs. He sells it for $4 a litre. I reckon id be better putting water in it! As soon as id changed the oil the thing started flaring when kicking down a gear. Some dude at the tranny shops thinks a servo is knackered but it seems like the timing is just too suss. I reckon ill put some of that maxlife in there and see what gives.

I thought id done some serious damage to the tranny @ 100kmph for an hour so when i got into the city i started driving it with the gears... seemed to be putting it through a lot less punishment. As soon as the trailer and car came off it went back to normal. nice up shifts etc. Thing that worries me is that the tow ball looks well used so the tranny has probably been through hell!
