The lack of engineering reports or, anythng in writing for that matter, appears to be standard operating procedure for these pr1cks.Document everything and Good luck mate!

WBT56 said they only break if you skip gears, so me or the previous owner has skipped gears into 5th and it broke. they still repaired it under warranty.plus they have the 3k limiter so youcant dump it into D..hope they do come and play so you can get it sorted mate.good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they arn't interested in that only interested in the cooler and wide wheels. Still will be interesting when I get the report though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summoner Member 288 Member For: 19y 1m 11d Posted 06/03/06 09:14 PM Share Posted 06/03/06 09:14 PM I had a similair fight with Expensive Daewoo back in the old days when I had an Auto VU SS ute. I destroyed 3 gearboxes. They all lost 2nd gear and in the end it was due to being manually shifted causing the box to heat up to much. I got the 1st 2 without issue but the 3rd they tried to fight me on it and I used the same arguement.. it is marketed as a performance car.. I have the option to manually shift it.. therefore I WILL use the car how it is advertised etc. Sure enough I got the box replaced.Then I traded it in for a manual :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
