I know the symptoms of a worn box is flared/flat out refusal to shift but I have heard about fresh boxes still playing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIN Member 3 Member For: 11y 10m 1d Posted 17/02/13 08:12 AM Share Posted 17/02/13 08:12 AM (edited) New here..Can anyone recommend any workshops in Brisbane/Gold Coast area that can rebuild transmissions?I own a BMW 135i which coincidentally has the same 6AT transmission that is used in some of the Falcon's. It is the ZF 6HP21. From what I understand the trans is only rated to 600nm.I want to be able to run between 300-360rwkw and upwards of 600nm daily without any issues.Also, can anyone give me some estimates of how much this would cost and how long my car will be in the shop?The slipping trans is a very common problem on our modded platform, particularly in the USA.Thanks in advance.

Three shops that quickly come to mind are CMS (SYD) Nizpro (MEL) & Monster Torque (PER). A stage 2 spec box will more then cover your power and torque goals. I have a CMS stage 2 box and it's more than capable of my almost 500 rwkws and 950 nms of torque. "." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Brisbane/Gold Coast is my first preference so I can take my car back in the event that I have any issues later down the track.Hopefully a few other local guys can chime in with their experiences too.Does upgrading the transmission affect the drivability of the car in any way? Are you happy with your CMS Stage 2? Can I ask what cost and how long did it take?On a side note, I'm very impressed with the power you guys are getting from your engines and the high trap speeds reflect that. I joined this forum to find out a solution to our transmission problems and keep getting distracted with other threads. Some great builds in here.

Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 16y 10m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 17/02/13 10:54 PM Share Posted 17/02/13 10:54 PM Driveabililty is hardly effected in my case at least shifts are a little firmer but not heaps. I also run a decent size trans cooler off my ZF which also keeps the trans temps in check when your assholing it.Also 2 zfs have gone 9's now so you can see if they are put together right they can perform. Costs wise budget for 5+ and a little more if you want more billet goodies and a stally. "." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
