tonyv EPC Member Donating Members 1,598 Member For: 16y 2m 14d Gender: Male Posted 13/10/12 11:10 PM Share Posted 13/10/12 11:10 PM (edited) Seems as though my 6spd auto keeps having issues so its time to get it checked, fixed then sold.For me the 6spd dosent cut it as I do enjoy the 1/4 mile occasionally.I was speaking to my tuner regarding auto's and he mentioned a turbo 400 3 speed. I know id have to change my diff gears also as the 6spd runs a 2.7 rear. A few mates were also mentioning 2 spd glides, stalls etcWhat are the pro's and cons of both autos, transbrakes, stalls and all of the above. if u have any of the above please hit this thread up.ThanksTony Edited 13/10/12 11:11 PM by tonyv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just an issue where it wasnt selecting 4th under wot and kept kicking back into 3rd. box had gotten hot and stripped a gear. $1500 later got the box fixed again in march this year and added a tranny cooler. things were great for the better part of "6" months, then last night I was practise launching, and only 1 or 2 stalls later the box tripped out and selected 2nd n 3rd while flashing on the dash and a loud howling noise came from the auto. Im going to be calling kewish for some reimbersment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG50T Member 568 Member For: 21y 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/10/12 02:52 AM Share Posted 14/10/12 02:52 AM I have a couple of mates both with turbo 400's and C4's that are bullet proof in the 10's. That said they aren't daily drivers and only see about 2000kms of abuse a year... Glides are stronger, lighter and less drivetrain power loss but don't know what they're like to live with. Speak to Johnny with the mental g6et on here about it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
