illusionzzz Member 180 Member For: 18y 10m 26d Posted 18/11/08 10:01 AM Share Posted 18/11/08 10:01 AM Hey guys, After my last visit to the drags a few months ago and causing some dramas to my auto gearbox, I've had a break from the car and the forums, but now I'm thinking about fixing her so I'm back. I had the box rebuilt by a recommended shop in Sydney, had to go back a couple of times to get it sorted, not sure if I was totally happy with it, and considering the car had done less than 8000ish kms with the box, not too sure if I should be going back. So who's is everyone using and recommending nowadays? By the way I can still drive the car I just can't flat shift into second as it just slips... So probably bands?

illusionzzz Member 180 Member For: 18y 10m 26d Posted 19/11/08 08:49 AM Author Share Posted 19/11/08 08:49 AM My car has been tuned and built by Autotech minus the gearbox. While my motor was getting run in on a sedate tune I took the box elsewhere to get built. I liked the sound of Dominello but were quite exxy compared to places in Melbourne etc.From the moment I picked up the car from the gearbox place it took forever to engage reverse and wasn't quite right shifting in to third, Spiro mentioned the 3rd gear issue aswell. About 2 weeks of driving later gearbox is clunking and goes back to the gearbox place with rooted planetary gears... Spiro has spent a lot of time tuning these cars, and spent a sh*tload of time on mine over the last few years so I'm more than confident with his ability, it's just a shame he doesn't build gearboxes in house! Surely there's some other place in NSW that are decent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
