Long story short my O/D would only engage for 5 minutes even after new fluid. Also would only work when cold. Well I decided to pull the M46/O/D and have it rebuilt. The trans and parts are done it is the O/D unit that is becoming a pain the arse. I need some help finding some parts. These are what I need.

2 actuator pistons with seals.
- These are the 2 that sit behind the 2 metal bars. Mine have the 2 blue teflon seals and 1 of those blue seals was half gone which is why my O/D didnt work. I read somewhere that there is an update for these 2 and the 2 blue seals are no longer avaiable?

1 bearing
- Part# sc0922c3 or # 380693
- I found this bearing for $90 but it is from vpautoparts in Sweeden and I am afraid it is going to take weeks for it to get here.

If it were me I would not put any money into the m46. I would swap in a t5. There everywhere and with many different combos of gear ratios to choose from.

That may have been the OD relay kicking it out.
