So I just want to see an aftermarket one fitted and hear that the performance of the gearbox is fine before I fit one.I believe the factory heat exchanger also helps the gearbox oil get up to temperature quicker as well as dispersing some of the operating temp heat from the oil back into the cooling system whens its warm.anyway, is so disappointing that they seem to crack, and quiet randomly too.

But 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears with 245/30 on the front and 255/30 stretched on the back. The multi stud doesnt really bother me, gives me a few extra options when I go to off load them - (IE. If they're gutter f*cked someone will LOVE them for their VL etc etc)Might see you guys thursday night :D Edited 15/12/10 12:47 AM by Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they did but cant recall if the car had a ZF or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take some photos, hopefully get around to it Thursday night at a mates workshop.the standard one is only $139. only thing I'm slightly worried about is losing some fluid - checking the level and topping up seems a bit more involved than usual.I'll probably fill the heat exchanger with some new fluid and try not to let any leak out of the hoses.
