    Check the hose and vacuum modulator as well.

    Thanks... I've checked and I reckon the vacuum is intact, certainly at the inlet manifold. I guess I need to check where it enters the box.

    I drove it to the golf course (only about 5km each way) this afternoon and it behaved pretty well. I'll give it a longer run tomorrow and see what happens.

    I don't think it can be a dud trans when it goes so hard in 1st and second but autos aren't my area of expertise so any advice is cool.

    Looks good for a parts runner. Little bit of love makes a big difference.

    Thanks guys.... It sure has scrubbed up well.
    I cleaned out the plenum yesterday.... I've never seen so many leaves and crap in a plenum before and not a spot of rust!
    It does however let a tiny bit of water in the left side... it's coming from up high but because of all the aircon stuff behind the glovebox I can't see where. Drain is clear so I guess it might be the air flap not sealing properly.

    Ahhhhh.... it could be that!
    I think I'll bite the bullet and pull all the aircon stuff out from behind the glovebox... I can just reach up and feel the drain pipe and it does feel like its a bit crushed so could have a crack...
    Pain in the neck, but it has to be fixed.
