4spd Has Given Up!

[The_Bogan]

was on my way to the usual thursday nite hangout on thursday nite..

was cruising along, not doing anything stupid at all.

then all of a sudden the gearbox decided to do its own thing, shifting up and down gears

without accelerating or changing them manually...

I thought nothing of this, so we kept on driving and 200m further the car decided to stall.

we managed to roll it into a side street. I thought nothing of this either..

the car started again first go.. as the car has stalled before for no reason..

we got it to a servo where I re-flashed my tune back into it..

we left and I noticed that we were doing 70kmh and revs were at around 3500.

I thought that this was unusual and decided to go through the gears manually.

felt it change from first to 2nd, but 3rd to 4th there was nothing!!

wasnt pissed off with the gearbox dieing as I knew it was going to happen at anytime.

so im up for a rebuild!!!! still deciding where to take it.

car lasted 6 months of hard driving with 310rwkw..

Wow, another gone.

Tis the season for it.

I think you should make a rant post and tell everyone how angry you are at your tuner for not telling you, regardless of you being able to put 2 and 2 together.

if you are putting a bigger convertor in you might as well make it a 3000, but a 3500 would be perfect. doesn,t affect daily driving unless you tow then it becomes a pain

Im looking at building a box for my XR8, currently at a very comfortable 320rwkw on 6.5 psi but I will be upping the boost around 9psi very soon.

This is the 3rd box the car is on, so looking at doing something with this one this time.

Are the 30000/3500 stallys still driveable on the street ?

What sort of dollars are we looking to build a touger box and a decent stally ?

Cheers,

Chad.

I had a 3000rpm stally in mine and you dont even know you have one untill you stall it up.

I paid $1700 for a reco 4spd with kevlar bands and a 3000rpm converter.It was still going fine when I sold it 1 1/2 years later.

Oh my power was in the low 300rwkw too.Hope that helps
