Box is fixed, hahaha.Input shaft had "a tiny tiny itty bitty" twist in it but it's one of the black uprated shafts which are stronger (not sure how I managed that. Might start cop spec build rumors) so Simon left that in. He asked me when I took it in what my plans were for power and we discussed options. He's rebuilt it 20% stronger than stock, I'd say the plate and clutch packs or whatever they are. Pretty much like Aaron said I left my wallet in there and Simon fixed it up hahaha!Zero pics as I forgot to ask them for some :( Gear was already long since chucked in the bin at 11am when I messaged them about it. Simon said in person again when I collected it today that he's amazed it even worked. The clutch material was so worn down he joked that the pistons were probably just about out of the sleeves when clamping, hahaha. Wouldn't have been funny if that happened I imagine...So yeah box is rebuilt now and has a nasty thud in certain gears, mainly involving 3rd. It has to relearn where the take up points are, Simon advised up to 1000km for it to get back to 100% smooth again. Upside is it feels awesome once engaged. Very positive, solid feeling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a swift box repair by XFT given that they're normally busy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met up with another member who has just had his car tuned there too...I'll let them post up if/when they feel the need to though So yeah the fluid was well burnt, box was serviced there about 50 thousand kms ago, Simon said it was hard to believe it! I had them fit up the PWR heat exchanger, he mentioned that my car was missing one of the bolt holes that normally exists for mounting the thing, I'll see if I can get a shot under the car now as it was done and dusted before I arrived, so again no pics! Need to get on it before the thing gets all dirty...Keen for more runs at the plex but a small rule has been put in place, have to do it on the school holidays as that means if I break something my gf isn't having to turn down teaching days (she does relief work). Lost out on 2 days work because I was using hers to get to my own job, not good... Edited 21/10/13 01:07 PM by -SteveR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BF always shunts into 2nd these days 3rd is pretty smooth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
