The o rings aren’t there on that invoice; hope they weren’t causing the leak. Keep an eye on that one.

Some liberties with the GP on parts there!
Labour seems right for gearbox out, but I might have missed it, no trans oil added to the list which suggests no gearbox removal.

Yea as I said, coolant marks still on the filler neck.
Pointed it out to the new owner (my neighbour) and told him FFS any problems, come see me first.

Oh yea, I checked prices with Zupps, Repco, and my account prices at Bursons, and considerable mark up especially valley gasket ???which I think is plenum/upper manifold cause that is more than double Zupps retail.

No gearbox out.
I was told they would drop the box cross member enough to lower the box a little to get at the thermostat but I believe since they removed the plenum, they then went in over the engine.
