Did not replace the mechatronics unit as the gearbox seemed to be operating fine. Was driving how it was meant to be and changing when it needed to. The trans place quoted $300 per solenoid and 9 of them in the box therefore totalling $2700.....

20's all around just wider on the rear. Had them for a couple years and no problems until now

no tyres have been changed. although I did get a wheel alignment and they said to keep the tyres at 40psi just before this started.....

Mine has been tuned for a couple years now and not one problem. It has just started the past couple weeks and can not figure it out. I'm thinking it might be the motor on the throttle body might be a little sticky. I will be checking the pedal position sensors too. Maybe clean them with some contact cleaner and see if this helps.

My BF (06) XR6T ute has been playing up on cruise control. It is a 6 speed auto box with 110000km's. I have found when cruise control is on, or when driving without cruise control but when engine under load (going up a slight hill), the revs bounce up and down between 1500 & 1700 rpm and sounds like the car is surging. Was also getting the same shudder that a manual car gets when in a gear too high and going to slow. I took it to the transmission place to get a service and when dropped the pan basically the oil was water. Found the heat exchanger had sh*t itself and contaminated the oil with coolant. Basically rebuilt the auto (converter, clutch, plates etc...). The reco has fixed the shuddering problem but the surging still exists. I have today replaced the throttle position sensor and still have the same problem. Does anyone know what may be causing this. Over the last couple years I have been getting my ETC light come on and off randomly on the dash hence why I changed the TPS. The transmission guys have also managed to data log the ecu when driving and picked up the codes relating to the pedal position sensor, P2127, P2129, P2138 & P2140. Will this somehow effect the yo yoing of the rpm when the engine is under slight load (going up a hill with cruise on or off)? Thanks for any input!

About to do my BF ute tomorrow. Excellent write up has made my job much easier. I have a gss342 pump but my filter looks different more like the stock filter so I hope it all goes in well.....Would I need to have the car retuned asap after changing the pump?

Walbro pump it is. So there is a bit of work fitting one of these in a ute yeah? Have to take the tubliner out, then drill out some part of the frame true? And if I go for a 12psi actuator that should be strong enough to hold the 14 psi boost at high rpm? What does the actuator port mean? Tobey, that giant hose across the front is my BOV return to the intake. Much appreciating all this info guys

Ok, I picked up my 06 BF XR6T ute Decemeber 2010. First thing I did was lower it. New king springs in the front and leafs reset to as low as possible. Fitted some 20's and an Autometer Cobalt boost gauge and was happy with the look of things. Now was the time for power. After much researching and contemplating, I opted for a Rapid system V2.0 High flow IC kit. I also got 60lb deka injectors all from Chris at Rapid systems. So having fitted my new cooler, cold side piping and injectors it was time to take it for a custome tune. I had the injectors fitted, then the car put on the dyno. The tuning was done by Matty at Bullet Performance in Geelong with a SCT X3 tuner. After a bit of playing around, the final figure came in at 299rwkw. A few factors that could have effected it was using 95 octane fuel and the warm temperature. As the power bug has bitten me im already thinking of my next mods....Maybe a waste gate actuator? intake plenum? What could anyone else suggest to help me hit around the 350rwkw mark. Thanks
