I've a sneaking suspicion that maybe RRPhil may be along sometime soon, and he's sure to help if you do some homework.

You could start by having a 'mega flush' of the gearbox, this apparently flushes out 99% of the oil versus 60% of the by only doing a filter change.

It’s true. The post-2002 5HP24 does have a couple of vulnerabilities i.e. wear of the torque converter lock-up clutch friction plate, and failure of the B-clutch hub/C-clutch drum axial needle roller bearing. However, both these tend to fail at around the 100,000 mile mark and their replacement will then give you another 100,000 miles of use from the same transmission.

Thank you for this information. That answered all my questions and put my mind to rest. So a new torque converter and a rebuild gearbox will see me back on the road again 😀 |

The transmission has to be removed from the vehicle to access the torque converter, but it isn’t necessary to dismantle the transmission, so no specialist knowledge of automatic transmissions is required. Any competent mechanic could do this bit.
