Well... since the "new" gearbox is arriving next week, I'll get that bunged on and keep the old one back.... I can then "tinker".

Very few gearbox specialists in our area so wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty and seeing what I can find out about the boxes, open it up and learn a bit.

I was reading about autoboxes recently and the advice regarding changing boxes after the troubles listed above was to change the torque converter as well because of the contamination inside it. Failure to do this could result in early failure of the replacement box.
