At 99,000km I went to Trivetts for my final warrenty inspection. I now have;
New transmission. (Dirty oil and a little clutch slip).
New EGR valves.
New lower steering coloumn shaft.
Replaced CV joint boot.
New A/c recirc arm.
Trivetts did all this in two days and I want to thank Peter Broz for his excellent service. A good communicator and I was well looked after.   2006 HSE TDV6 Bonatti Grey, ECB bull bar, tropical roof, LG Next G car kit, Tom Tom GPS, UHF, Mitchell Bros tow bar, Kimberley Kamper Limited Edition camper trailer and 23 foot Haines Signature half cabin (Towed separately!)

When you say new transmission, do you mean the entire 6 speed automatic gearbox?

Did you have problems with the transmission? What were the symptoms? What's the point.... it all comes out in the wash anyway!

I had mentioned to them that I thought it "clunked" sometimes when changing down rapidly, e.g. say pulling up at a stop light, as it changed down to low as you were stopping, I thought it may have been a bit "unnatural".
They picked up on driving, that it slipped a little actually on changing up. They checked the oil, said it was darker than it should be and that it had minute clutch particles in it. I might say we continued to use it for another fortnight until the parts arrived, so it hadn't actually folded up. 2006 HSE TDV6 Bonatti Grey, ECB bull bar, tropical roof, LG Next G car kit, Tom Tom GPS, UHF, Mitchell Bros tow bar, Kimberley Kamper Limited Edition camper trailer and 23 foot Haines Signature half cabin (Towed separately!)

I tow occasionly, a Kimberley camper (about 1.5T?) and rarely a 26' boat (see my gallery). The boat only on flat going on the tar and the camper I took to the back country and to Tassie this year. Probably about 15k of my 100k.
Norto, you have a PM. 2006 HSE TDV6 Bonatti Grey, ECB bull bar, tropical roof, LG Next G car kit, Tom Tom GPS, UHF, Mitchell Bros tow bar, Kimberley Kamper Limited Edition camper trailer and 23 foot Haines Signature half cabin (Towed separately!)

Thanks PBob, interesting. I was thunking down into 1st gear a bit, but last time I went in they updated the software, and also the defective control software for the locking rear ediff. This seemed to fix the clunk down into 1st.

I suggested to them that it may have been a software problem but that was discounted when they took it for a test and also checked the oil. 2006 HSE TDV6 Bonatti Grey, ECB bull bar, tropical roof, LG Next G car kit, Tom Tom GPS, UHF, Mitchell Bros tow bar, Kimberley Kamper Limited Edition camper trailer and 23 foot Haines Signature half cabin (Towed separately!)

Davis Performance Landys at Annangrove (Sydney) do an after-market automatic transmission cooler which sits infront of radiator. They say reduces tranny temp by about 30 degC.
Is recommended if you do a lot of towing - I have had it added,cost about $900.
They also recommend that the tranny oil is changed regularly.
