Hello all, About to change transmission filter and gasket on my MPW DHC first time and if there is any special advise to look out for…? Aware of a support that has to be removed in order to access the sump, unlike the 4-door saloons, but other than that should be quite straight forward…? Regards | ||

The filter actually moves vertically on the bolt that holds it in place. May seem odd, but that;s what you will notice. After the filter comes down, there will be a waterfall of fluid. Add fluid, short drive, then fill again to top up. Do not overtighten the pan bolts and fasten them inside out/cross pattern like a head torque. | ||

Robert what about the O ring do you change same each time as recommended? . | ||

Yes, should be in the kit. Make sure you have a nice strong magnet within the pan. It may already have one there. You will be surprised how much metallic sludge is attracted. There is more friction related surfaces in the gearbox than anywhere else. | ||

The filter arrived weeks ago and unpacking it this morning found the top part of one side has rusted...! Suppose a bit of ultra fine sandpaper should remove most of it... | ||

There is more friction related surfaces in the gearbox than anywhere else. Cripes and I thought the brakes ie Discs and Pads were more so! | ||

The result of friction on all the surfaces within the gearbox is suspended in the fluid, where as with brake discs the debris is blown away and not captured. | ||

However as the amount of waste braking friction material is far more compared to that of an auto box must be more friction with the braking! BTW the auto box friction waste is collected in the filter and magnets, not suspended in the ATF. | ||

Done and dusted including, coolant, oil/filter change and the hydraulic system...! | ||
