I need to locate a gearbox filter Asap ???????? in London.
Yes it went on me without warning , I had to do an emergency roadside ATF change , everything back to normal now ,but the old filter was unusable so I need a new one,
I will do a full write up with pictures when I get time .

Ok i will answer my own question, this place charged me £24 plus VAT for the filter, and if I needed the gearbox rebuilt it would be about £1600
I will see how far I get before I spend that much money, X feels as good as new

Good Luck - I must advise you that all experts I have spoken to state that it is crucial for the change to be peformed when box within a specific temp range. Hopefully this info not too late for you.

Done 2 changes, one when the gearbox was cold, and one when the gearbox was hot, both times the gearbox worked very well afterwards
I don't know how long it is going to last before needing a rebuild, but I must say it is running beautifully, even the MPG has gone up by 2 miles
The bottom of the oil sump was full of a brown thick mud like substance and the car did not move at all, so any oil change regardless of temperature has got to be better in that situation

Okay just so long as you know

Would have felt guilty if later saw you with prob's & I hadnt posted.

Thats handy to know, they are round the corner from me...hopefully I'll never need them though!

I have now nearly done 1200 miles since the second ATF change and the gearbox is still working great
considering I had no gears whatsoever I can't recommend it enough. change the oil in your gearbox
