Huge thanks to Haakon for the parts. Seems like there is an improvement!
And 4th gear works very well so I believe the F1 brake is properly in place.
I noticed however that it has potential to do the same effect as the gear change for first and reverse can delay a bit. After a quick test drive I noticed that the water coolant level has decreased a fair bit. I remember doing a top up with just some demin about 6 months ago.
So I will do a top up of water and investigate. I have a theory that if the heat exchanger seal is no good or if there is a leak somewhere else then the trans oil is heating to above the operating temp and causing a few issues. The engine temp indicator is only 3 bars up which is about halfway and normal.
Will update soon and see what happens.
