Eugene Member 670 Member For: 20y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle NSW Posted 21/02/09 04:53 AM Share Posted 21/02/09 04:53 AM HI all,Mate of mine has a 2004 BA Mk1 turbo ute, 4 speed auto. car cas been modded for ever with exhaust, injectors, tune etc, it is just a daily driver used by all for everything, it has now developed a shift problem.we tried with and without the tune in and problem is still there so it appears to be an issue with the box, not software.1-2 shift is good, no slip or flare.2-3 shift is sh*t, either in auto or manual, there is a 1.2 to 1.5 second delay on shift and tach jumps by 250-300rpm, then a firm thump ad 3rd is engaged, it is OK-ish on light throttle but anywhere near 2500rpm + and it thumps etc, 3-4 shify is good to.Auto hase been serviced, new fluid and filter etc, he was going to trade but offered under $13K made up his mind to keep it and run it into the ground.Who would you recommend for an exchange box, the ute is running 260ish RWKW, but doesn`t get driven too hard now, so I cant see a need for a super duper strengthend box, but ideas are welcome.PS: he has just ordered a FG Typhoon ute, with all the fruit. Cant wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
