Without removing the battery or do doing anything special I took it on the hume and we are GOLDEN!!!!!! no gearbox issue, it was the sensor that tells the car that its running on an angle and it wouldn't upshift above third whilst in Drive, has made my morning..who would have thought running mismatched tyre sizes on the same axel can cause such grief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now a lot worse and has an even longer, high rev duration period before selection 4th.Where do I get this fixed in Sydney and how much approx?Car has 350rwkw and a lot of torque on the small FG turbo and e85.The 2 places I would go to are Dominello or CMS, Dominello.There is also BTA but the prices I got from a customer last week at WSID were $8500 (billet input shaft) and $12000 (billet input and intermediate shaft), they may be stronger but overkill for your applicationJoe at CMS has done a few now and is very capable with theses boxes.Final price would come down to the shafts you use as there are different treated shafts and also billet versions.My advice would be to ring all 3 and go from there Edited 21/08/12 01:12 AM by rednose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpl0sive Member 421 Member For: 16y 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/08/12 10:04 PM Share Posted 23/08/12 10:04 PM Just read this thread...as I read that a different sized wheel was used on front left, I thought to myself, 'there's the problem'. Same thing happened to another bloke on here couple of year's back. Vevapower, interesting place for the transcooler. Had thought about moving mine there but was worried about damage due to stones etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
