KeddyXR6T Donating Members 320 Member For: 15y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/04/12 05:42 AM Author Share Posted 08/04/12 05:42 AM 3rd gear is the weak spot and the tune can help with prolonging the life of the box. Regular services make a big difference too. Mine was built by Yarra Valley autos aswell and has been pretty good for almost 3yrs with 318rwkw. I dont thrash the sh*t out of the thing everyday though,so if you do,it wont help either. 40,000km out of a box that's been thrashed on a regular basis is probably pretty good.A good point that's while ill wait and see what the intermediate clutch packs look like. I started just before and had a listen sounds like the converter is pretty noisy :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone knows how to build this box. There are a few tricks, without knowing what they are, you wont get it to hold for long. Aaron knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive thought about and I think ill just change builders rather then f*ck around so ive rang yarra valley and bayswater autos the price is pretty much the same who do you think I go to you have a valley box in it at the moment but who would you choose the only reason I ask is cause your pushing allot more then me and have done so without problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron knows.I would but for what im pushing (300rwkw daily driver) it dose not make sense to use that type of converter and valve body setup even though it would be fun to have the full manual. That setup is really noticeable down low revs I would only have my license a month of the year but .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
