Tranny = Transmission!!! I've only just moved to Adel a little while ago & starting to have a few issues with the EL XR8's trans, plus it needs a service (service I could do but I've become lazy :-P). So I'm just hunting for a decent Auto Trans shop in the East side if anyone can point me in the right direction?

In all seriousness, why bother with servicing the old BTR? Why not change it out for a manual? The total cost can't be that much more, and you gain so much.

why not try a decent second hand unit out of an AU, I believe Athol Park wreckers do a change out in a day with 3mths warranty, i havent used them so cant comment on the service. I have one sitting in an AU2 with 160k which im stripping for my race car but im not in Adelaide. The guys I know get there race transmissions done at MV automatics.
Nice title, gets peoples attention! Last edited by Pinkbits; 10-06-2012 at 10:50 AM. |

I'm not too sure if it needs a full replacement yet, if I can get if fixed for cheaper I will. I started another thread a while ago with the problem description before & got no replies here --> http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11365790 Being a windsor I'm pretty sure their BTRs had a few internal changes too (correct me if I'm wrong) so I wouldn't be too keen on placing a 6cyl tranny behind it. I'll just try to get a tradies opinion first and take it from there. And yeh it did get the attention I was after

Carl from Salisbury Automatics....(I believe he's still round)....He's built a few tough trannies I'm aware of....One being fitted to a C10 Chebby that goes to the summernats burnout comps.
He's also looked after my trannies over the last 7 years ago (IMA, haven't seen him for 12 months due to driving manuals at the moment)
