Where To Buy New 4Sp Gearbox

[Che]

Hi Guys

I think I might be up for either some major gearbox repairs or replacement. Where could I buy a new 4spd auto for my BA? This one is making a slight grinding noise when backing off the revs in 4th.

Cheers

Matt

might help if you tell us where your located.

If in melb, go to Bayswater Autos or Preston Automatics in Melbourne. they make 9 and 10sec BA 4sp btr's. So far with positive lasting results.

Bit of an update: I live in Hervey Bay, so no tuners for a few 100km's.

I rang Ford complaints this morning and even though the car is out of warranty it has only 60,000km on it. They took down the details and called a local Ford dealer who are booking it in diagnose the problem and report back to Ford. If the dealer reports back that it is a fault, Ford says they may contribute some money/parts towards it. Fingers crossed.

lol @ ford. GL with that.

Is the car stock?

Car is bog stock. Might be a long shot, but I'll see how it pans out.

gold donation at its best eh.

bog stock and an auto issue? Are you sure it is the auto and not somethign else? Just wait and see what ford say I guess.

[Che]

Yeah, pretty confident it is the box. Took it to a local mechanic who put it on the hoist. Once we got it up to 60km, you could hear the noise coming str8 from the box.

have you checked the coolant common for these things to split the trans cooler in the radiator and mix the coolant and trans fluid that'll slowly kill your trans for you.

Thanks for the tip, I'll go have a look. Mechinic did check the transmission fluid and said it was clean.
