tonyv EPC Member Donating Members 1,598 Member For: 16y 20d Gender: Male Posted 24/08/10 11:15 AM Author Share Posted 24/08/10 11:15 AM usually things work for the best since iv been going there the last year, all my cars tuned were bullets for the mods I had done. Im sure everything will pan out with my auto, I appreciate your concern straughts. iv paid for a job and I plan to hav it sorted. Since I am impatient im just trying to work out how the auto could have this problem of shifting from 3rd to 4th. Well.. not shifting in this case. Nick aside as the thread is about my auto, just after peoples responses on what this problem could be or if anyone has had the same thing happen to them??tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason y I got the box built, may have never needed a build lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the state of the clutches. I doubt it's a valve body or solenoid. More likely burnt clutches because of removed torque tags and too much boost down low. My 2 cents...

I doubt the box would be hurt already but ya never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its the price you pay for doing mods to a car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I've never heard of one going south in 3 days after a rebuid. But knowing the 'tuner'/'mechanic' who did the work, I am not surprised.This is the same 'tuner'/'mechanic' who once told me that he was rebuilding a BTR under warranty (sound familiar) for a customer. The customer was to pay for a gearset and labour was free. He was charging the customer $1000 dollars for a brand new Ford gearset but was actually fitting a second hand one which cost him $300. *beep*.Once again, sorry to hijack.

You've obviously got an idea of what you think is going on and that's fine. It's your life and your decision after all.But please, just be smart about it. Don't go handing out more money until the last job is done. Like I said, I know quite a few people that have been stung and some for very large amounts of money. This is fact, not fiction. The law was involved in some cases (not for the first time) but unfortunately, some people know how to get around the system, even when the sheriffs are trying to enforce a court order. The only real protection you have is the decisions you make.Again, I'd hate to hear this go further south than it already has. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
