Hi happy new year every one I taking my str next week to have new sump metronic sleeve fitted was wondering is it worth having the metronic unit seal fitted at the same time not too sure where it fits so dont know if there will be added labour charges

 

The only way to release the sleeve is to have the filter pan removed ! And the only way to acsess the matronics unit is from in side the trans .
So wilst doing the filter fluid change is the perfect time for any machronics related work , or you'll be doing it twice .
I'm guessing you mean the oil pump to machronics seal ? I don't often see posts of the machronics being removed for servicing , what is the symptoms in which cause the need to ?

 

Mechatronics.

Mechanical / electronics

 

I think it'll be the one on page 5 here http://www.thectsc.com/images/pdf/th...eplacement.pdf

I'm not sure I'd go that far during a fluid change.

 

I am having the sump filter and sleeve replaced next week and was wondering if it was a good idea to have the mechtronic unit seal replaced while the sump and sleeve were being done as that is another rubber item that could perish with age was wondering if it was in a location easily accessable while the sleeve and sump were being done just looked at the diagram looks like the actual mechtronic unit would have to be removed so maybe not just heard that while having the transmission serviced it was good to any seals changed at the same time

 

Thanks jagv8 . You'll have a full time job chasing my spelling around . Sorry

That is a great link norri . Cheers
I certainly did not go that far , do these fail often and what is the symptoms ? Does anyone know ?

 

No worries.

They don't fail often but the cars are all getting old so I suppose more will turn out bad as time goes on. Wear of the moving parts, leaking seals, etc.

Main thing is probably to change the parts (incl. oil) that are usually changed.

 

yes ok going to get it done next week hopefuly got all of the bits have not driven the car for over a month but wanted to get the christmas out of the way
