Thanks, Bernd. The shop confirmed there's no labor charge for doing the
converter at this point, plus he just added that he thinks he's seeing hints of

This could be a lesson re fluid changes as I've knowingly dragged my feet on
spending the money. Knowing that and reading your message really leaves me no
