Well guys i was coming home today from picking my bro up from work, cuising nicely up south rd o'halaren hill (those in sa will know). Then all of a sudden a butt load of white smoke starts pluming out the back, didnt hear any noises, didnt lose any power so im thinking my amatuer wiring is coming to bite me in my ar$e. But when i pull over to have a sqiuz all i can smell is trans fluid and see a nice trail of oil following me, pop the bonnet to see a nice split in the trans hose going to the cooler, i got a sock to try and slow the leak down a bit to get me to the servo about 200 meters up the road. Just got there got a litre of fluid a 100 mile and hour tape (servos have SFA theese days) anyway patched her up got the fluid in and looked forward to the fun 2 kay drive home which i just made. Now i get to go buy some new hose and a but load of trans fluid yay. I just hope i can get the hose easily and also that i havnt caused any damage to the tranny!

Back to Hindley street for you..  That hill is a bit steep, not surprised it chose there to let go... Good luck with the fix
