Hello all,with all the info you've given me I'll spirit wash the filter,and use VX gaskets.I do like the tip to use a garden pump up spray(with spray nozzle removed) to tank up with fluid.Once again thanks for all your valuable advice,I think all thats needed now is the sump bolt torque settings I'll search the forum bet there somewhere on there,and of course some GM dexron3 oil,I would much prefer to use the same oil as will already exist on the working parts of the autobox

And dont bother with Gm DexIII.

I rate the titan 4000 from fuchs from here (note, members discount available)
