illusionzzz Member 180 Member For: 18y 9m 5d Posted 22/11/08 07:59 AM Author Share Posted 22/11/08 07:59 AM Thanks INFLYT. Protrans are the guys that built the box first time around. Then replaced the planetary gears a couple of weeks after. I will definitely call them to suss out what they think, as they seem like genuine guys. Just wondering what my options are...You can actually see my original thread regarding the rebuild here:http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...c=33674&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was recommended to use them and was wondering if anyone knows what their boxes are like once built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm there knows his work, but so does dominello.Dominello is expensive but he is for a reason - he does good work. when you get the box done and the car is tuned, to the high 300's I assume, take it easy when moving between gears and the box will last a bit longer.

I also rang Northmead Auto and he said he's done heaps of them and knew what he was talking about .Also,was more in my price range as well. I might give him a go in the new year.
