F6RD Donating Members 249 Member For: 16y 5m 4d Gender: Male Posted 08/08/10 03:40 AM Author Share Posted 08/08/10 03:40 AM Yep had a pretty crap day, I ran a 12.40, blew up my auto and lost my black plastic under tray to top it off. after my last run it sounded like there was nuts and bolts rattling aroung in the engine, thought it could have been the cat cause it was driving fine. I drove it half way home and lost all drive.Looking at installing a stally and rebuilding the auto of course.Not sure what to get maybe a 2500 dominator stally and just rebuilding the box dont know if they strengthen them or just put new bands in them.But if its gonna happen again, no more quarter miles for me. Phillip island is next on the agenda, kinda sick of going in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 8d Posted 08/08/10 08:07 AM Share Posted 08/08/10 08:07 AM Oh sh*t,that sucks mate. Who are you going to get to build your auto? I had mine done at yarra valley autos and from memory it was close to $3400 for rebuild with internal mods,custom servo,trans cooler,strengthened drive plate and 2500 rpm stally. First service was free. I think if mine goes again I will go a 2 or 3spd. Back on the horse mate! Once you get your auto done you can use the slicks I got if you want and go bust out an 11. Theres still a couple of runs in em and I wont be goin back for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
