I've seen around the place that there are quite a few fishermen among us. Just wondering what sort of fishing people are into.

So, what type of fishing are you into?

Me, I'm into my lure fishing, mostly for bream but give anything a go! I also do a yearly trip down the peninsula chasing salmon and am looking to start live baiting in the port searching for that big mully :D

I used to go finishing heaps on the Yorke Peninsular and down the south east, as my family has a couple of tuna / crap boats down there.

lost interest over the past few years, just find it boring sitting around all day doing nothing especially as i can't eat it :D

The boats were really bad huh? :D

This has always been my opinion of fishing as whenever I have been out, hardly catch a thing (1 fish if im lucky) but then again, probably has something to do with the fact I was always going out with other people that had little knowledge of fishing either! LOL

3 of my closest mates arent into cars but the ++ is they all have boats and studieing marine bio! we love goin for squid, snook, the rare whiting(these days), mullet, flat head, crabs and we do the odd fish for mullaway, snapper and the occasional bronzy just so we get a chance to use the big rods. bah usually just get damn pt jackson sharks grrrrrr

best ever was down at kangaroo island when a mate and i spent the week down there. got one bronzy, the biggest flat head ive ever seen, a tone of mullet and a few various other good eating fish.

might have to organise something in the future maybe a fishing trip up to pt hughes/moonta or something

HAPPY EASTER ALL!

Well, I'm pretty crap at fishing, tho I still like to use it as an excuse to go to Moonta. I'm better at catching squiddies and dropping crab nets off the jetty :down: Always do take a rod or two when I go to the jetty, so I can see whats on and try n go for it. I dont bother going for the big stuff, just try to get Garfish, Whiting, Salmon Trout, Mulloway, Mullet.... dont like bream or tommies much, pita

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
