He asked me how the car was going with the new tranny that he replaced in Feb this year. I said to him that "Do you really want to know". He replied "Yeh if your not happy you should bring it back in". I told him that I would if I could . He gave me a funny look of WTF are you on about. I said if you really want to know, I've done the same thing as before. Only have drive in 1st and 2nd gear. He just said "your kidding are'nt you, that's 4 in 12 months". "No" was my reply. I then told him that I had taken the EMS off and fitted the standard injectors back into the motor and the that the car was back to stock except for my Shaker induction. He said if you can drive it in Tuesday (yesterday) that he would have a look at it and see what he could do. 4 pm yesterday he rang me to say that a new tranny was on its way .I could'nt get over it as I never even asked for one, as I was in the process of organising to have it fixed and modded in Melbourne. to say I was wrapped is an understatement. The only condition he implied was that I do not refit the EMS. I said, "No problem, I'm changing over to the Edit anyway" He just gave me one of those, OH NO!!!. Here we go again looks and smiled.macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston Auto's are one and the other is the guy who builds Rachael Splatts transmittions for her Rail Dragster. He is keen to have a look at the BA Auto. I had a chat with him over the phone. Builds some pretty tough transmittions for drag cars and such.macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
