However I have been surfing for a couple of hours and have found varying opinions and options. Would like to get an update from members since more boxes have been rebuilt etc.I am just about to get the car back with over 300 rwkw woooooot.The question got asked what are you going to do about the transmission?Which of the options below would be best bang for buck?This is what I have come up with as to what my options are- Leave it until something goes wrong then fix- Just get it serviced- Get the valve body done (worth doing?)- Get it strengthened (ideas on this and what to get done)- Get it rebuilt now with stallie (ideas on this and what to get done)Any other suggestions would be appreciated and who would you recommend in Melbourne.Would also appreciate some feedback as to how other rebuilds have gone and what power they are running through them Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60113-4-speed-auto/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with it. BTW my first car had 315rwkw and the 4sp, the box lasted 8 weeks, but pulled some impressive Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60113-4-speed-auto/#findComment-913552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
