LSD diff is in and gauges have been wired up,intercooler piping has been modified and catchcan has new fittings and will be relocated. still waiting for my other gauge holder to come from over east but this vulcano might have slowed things down abit. Need to cut some speaker holes in the doors and finish off the interior ..pics up soon

yeah wizo told me this is something that happens quite often with auto trans it sucks it through the modulator/daiphram vacuum if its f**ked. it causes the motor to blow smoke and makes the tranny slip cause of the loss of fluid there is quite a few threads on ct about it...

It is the little module On the left hand side of the box It is a common thing usually after some box sits around for a while what it does is when the diaphram ****s itself it sucks the Auto trans fluid straight out of the gearbox into the engine thru the vacume line Best James Bond impersination ever hahahahahaha

ah right fair enough. do you need to pull the manifolds off and whatnot to clean the fluid out or can you just fix the diaphragm and hope for the best?
