Well after yesturdays cruise to pt augusta and todays to the clare valley to trans has decided to let go.The rear of the car and underside is covered in trans fluid,called the customer care number,told them what has happened.An hour later the RAA guy rocked up from Pirie with the tilt tray and is dropping it off at holdens first thing.
Will be on the fone to them at 8:30 just before car is dropped off in driveway.

Here's some pics of the mess.

Well the sarga continues,taking it in to holdens as the big guns from adelaide are in town.They want to test drive car and hopefully trans plays up for them so something can finally be done to fix it. The local yocals working there keep saying its normal.
