Posted 11/05/10 01:36 PM Share Posted 11/05/10 01:36 PM well depends what you call big power, and I was referring to a 1-2 year life.If I could have a 4sp that I could bang hard and pay 700$ each time for a build once every 2+ years, id be happy with that. Keep me away from a glide and keep the car daily driveable.How long / KM's that btr box been in that monstor for? Not to mention a whole heap of dyno smashing Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67983-the-time-has-come-for-a-c4/page/2/#findComment-1006828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will eventually be running 450 to 500 rwkw but for now I have 380 ish would the auto be reliable?

t6xr Member 826 Member For: 17y 6m 16d Gender: Male Location: MELB STH EAST Posted 12/05/10 04:14 PM Share Posted 12/05/10 04:14 PM Ive got a c series 3 speed box in mine, had to get a rebuild a couple of months back-wasnt happy, put in billet internals. The car isnt a daily anymore and hardly gets used or given a hard time!!!, so it beats me why it sh*t itself. Now I wish I built a 2 speed powerglide which recently been advised to. On the positive side I have enjoyed having the 3 speed and it is actually easy to drive even when it was a daily which at the start was alittle worried about.Maybe in the future I can see a powerglide going in depending if I can persuade the boss(wife) again.....until then the 3 speed will do.

Can the shifts be changed and made firmer? Will it be acceptable to drive on the Highway?If all of these facters can be met I would definately consider one of these.Cheers Alf.
