Dam I have been having so much bad luck with mine!I went in today and looked at it and it had snapped SOOOOO many teeth off the Gear Set! so was really stuffed up.Im not sure what model Gear Set he put in it but my guy had up graded them from the BA's to a fewer teeth but thicker and stronger set.What have you had done to your box and by who if you dont mind me asking mate??Cheers Edited 29/11/11 10:42 AM by griffo240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs like a champ. It needed a tickle after about 50,000km in the form of some new clutches. Been going strong ever since. Street duties only, I don't see why these autos cant last a very long time. RVO has done some 4l60 conversions for our cars and has one in the 10.s from memory. Still get an overdrive with the 4l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still get an overdrive with the 4l.I had Dave at RVO build a "big banger" 4 speed auto for my BA died in 3 months, chewed up 3 planitary gear sets in the process! A. Previous to that sent a mate there he had the similar issues! I guess you a lucky one mate..Bayswater transmissions did the next one and lasted until I sold the car..

Tony built me a trans that drives like a stocker, but chirps into 3rd gear. Got it built in 2006 to hold 327rwkw. It hasn't missed a beat. For the last 12 months it's had 400rwkw to deal with and still been 100% reliable. Tony is a top bloke too. I would recommend his shop to anyone.
