[T3] Auto shift issue

[Tim Keohane]

I will need two new hoses, and it may be that I will have to make the time to refurbish my calipers.

I have it scheduled to be back here (the T3 ) around noon. I'll examine the rotor to see if it is scored. I plan on replacing those bearings now regardless.

 Is it possible the caliper is ok and the issue is just the hose. If I recall the caliper rebuild job is not severely complicated, just a bit cumbersome without specialized tools. I see rebuild kits are available.

I will post this afternoon after I've inspected the rotors.
