That's the only thing you have to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car runs 331rwkw and l do drive it hard (as you would expect to) the auto was done by Andrew 2yrs ago and is still to the day as strong as the 1st day l drove it out from there workshop. I don't have an auto oil cooler on it and l get it serviced every 6 months. I can't stress enough how good these guys are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrdreaming Lifetime Members 1,693 Member For: 21y 2m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/07/07 02:05 PM Share Posted 19/07/07 02:05 PM Yep I have been dealing with Stan and Andrew for years now and have done a lot of development on the 4 speed with them. Down shifting is the worst thing to do to your auto. Andrew always says that is what your brakes are for! It's cheaper to change brake pads than overhaul your auto.By downshifting he means engine braking. I have had a lot of rebuilds along the way but the current one has lasted the longest and is hold very well with tunes between 370rwkw and 430rwkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
