Transmission shifts perfectly in all gears going forward - auto or hand
shifted. Park seems not to engage properly sometimes after stopping. I tend
to use P more than the handbrake !

The transmission was clean, but the TQ got a bit of water in the fluid when
I pressure washed it before reassembly. I drained it by siphoning & sucking
the fluid out (it tastes terrible when you get it into your mouth !). I
doubt if I got it 100% clean & empty as it is damm difficult job

I have took the valve body off of an auto VW Kombi (Vanwagon) which I once
owned & it was a pretty easy job. I will give it a try.

BTW the car is a late 68 early 69 1600 TL -  Type 312, 319 Vin prefix.
