Minor update, trans pan gasket lasted all of 3 months before cracking and dumping puddles everywhere (note to self, transgold gaskets are junk)
Took the pan off and found there was more glitter in the pan than a cheap stripper on tight ass tuesdays. As the trans still shifts and runs fine, I'm just going to keep running it until it lets go for now.
The plan is to buy another 4HBD (which is proving harder than I thought to find) and slowly piece together a rebuild kit and send it away for a proper build (Looking at a 2500RPM B&M stall converter too if anyone has any experiences with them).
Rather than taking the car off the road while I put money and parts aside for a rebuild I think I'll start piecing together a hot swap for now and build that up ready for when this one does die.
On the plus side it does explain half of my rattles when the trans is in gear at idle.
Gotta finish the post with a little engine porn:
