Any auto trans shop will be able to deal with the 3 speed - It's been used in holdens forever. I've been quoted about $600 for a rebuild (not drive - in drive-out - that was supply trans only to workshop)

New fluid correct level (trans warm motor running) .. will most likley be OK .. way cheaper give that a try prior to forking out for a rebuild you may not need.

flushed it several times, dropped sump cleaned filter, checked for vacum leaks, changed valve on vacum line (on manifold) fitted new cooler and lines still does it! if i can find a good rebuilt box id swap it in and be done with it.

I'd echo others comments about getting it rebuilt as opposed to DIY.

Autos are complex beasties / require special tools / and a nice clean environment to do properly.

Rebuild or second hand ( assuming the replacments not crap ) would be my choice.
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
