do you still have the cosmo?

ok if its still hard to get a mark try cleaning up the end of dip stick with some sand paper, you will find that either side of the dipstick will have a different level just go off the lowest 1
If you want to check what jumpstart says about the selector cable position just put your ignition on select reverse and check your reverse lights are on if they are the selector shaft is in the correct position
If you want to have a go at it then as soon as you remove the pan the filter is there at the bottom but its not that easy to change!
one of the pins on the filter goes all the way through the valve body and has a nut the other side so if you take it out you wont get it back in with out removing the valve body.
if you leave the pin out you will also have a lose nut left in your box so you have to remove the valve body to change or clean the filter(if its blocked)
if you remove the valve body you have to take out the vac modulator on the side of box first, this has a small pin which goes in to the valve body to work a valve.
so remove vac mod and pin then you can remove valve body to work on filter.
still feel up to it?

hi
it will be easy to set the level when its warm ,it is harder to get a good mark when its cold plus it expands when its warm so if you get it bang on when its cold it will be over the mark when its warm.
i have not worked on a auto in a FC but on the same box which was also fitted to a fairway taxi cab but with a different bell housing.
im pretty sure your box is a JATCO 4L71A or B  have a look on the side of the box there will be a tag on it.
Don\'t feel to bad having the same unit as a taxi the skyline 34GT uses the same auto unit as a LTI tx1 tx2 taxi cabs

hi
The best way is to jack and support the front of the car. start taking out the sump pins from the rear of the sump and work your way to the front of the sump leaving two pins in at the front , oil should start running out of the back of the sump ,You may need to tap it with a hammer to break the gaskets seal then slowly undo the two front pins to let most of it drain. there should only be 4 or 5 ltr in the pan the rest is held in the converter and cooler.
to refil put 5ltr in box start engine select r n d then back to p then top up to level with engine running.
looking at whats in side the sump and your old oil is a good indication on the condition of your auto box
if your oil level is ok you have drive but you have lost reverse totaly
its most likely gota come out to be fixed, sorry.

Get some one under the car to crack open the bleed screw on the slave while you press the clutch pedal down. The pedal should fly down and fluid should come out the bleed screw no problem.
However if its still hard with the bleed screw open and fluid comes out very slowly then you have a block in the line .
If the pedal moves down easy with the bleed screw open then the line is ok and you have a problem with your clutch,slave or lever.
bleed the system after the test.

hi

im learning more about these engines every day... dont think its gona end!!!!!!!

hi
i think im right in saying these plug in to the two looms that run each side of the car under the front wings....(you cant see these with wings on)
they come out of these looms and enter the engine bay at the very back of the engine bay.
if you look to the left of your servo on drivers side in the far corner of the shell i think its a triangle shape hole .. thats where it comes in and same opposite side(passenger side)
a few inches of wire and there\'s a connection where you can unplug them
