Blowute Member 56 Member For: 19y 5m 17d Location: Brisbane Posted 27/04/06 08:48 AM Share Posted 27/04/06 08:48 AM Hello all, in the next month or so il be getting putting my auto box in for some work. Most probably be doing the heavier duty bands & clutches, trans cooler and hopefully a a bigger stall if I can afford it. Can any of the brissy boys here recommend anyone locally? Id prefer someone to do it that has experience with these if not il just have to do some shopping round. If anyone can point me in the right way thatd be great! Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25021-auto-trans-strengthen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a forum member that can probably get you a good deal for shipping and FIST have a box made up especially for the trip.

For this job though, I had it pulled out closer to home as it would have to have been towed to FIST (killed the convertor at the drags) and to pull the trans is not a major job.It took 2 weeks including transit, but if you timed it right and pre-organised with Dave from Kewish, I'm sure it could be a shorter time frame than that. I say "time it right" as they send the gears to be cryo'd twice a week. I just missed the Thursday pick up so it had to wait until the following Tuesday for the next batch - so lost 4 days there.
