Strawberry Milkshake killed my Auto - suggestion for a new Auto for GU II ? SE QLD

Give Mark French a ring at Mark's Adaptors and see what he has to say.
Ive found him very approachable about conversion problems.
I did a 350 into a troopy 20 yrs now Wow that long LOL

I thought mark had sold the business and moved on a while back... Could be mistaken though?

Yeah thinking 6 speed, drove one a couple weeks back while it was being programmed.

$4K - ouch, I've got 2 quotes for rebuilds for under $3K fitted (both reputable transmission places) - so will see how much a 6 speed will cost.

Depending on the extent of damage, but I minced mine completely and it cost $4300. Started out as a 2k rebuild.

Have you given Whole sale Automatics a call, they sell beefed up autos for conversions

I take it your using the patrol trans? For availability I would be having a good look at going to the gm trans especially the 6 speed as you have pointed out.

I just found out my auto breather was blocked the other day. I could hear this hissing noise while I was airing down the tyres and traced it inside the bonnet to the trans dipstick, cracked it open and heard a big rush of air. next weekends job will be checking and cleaning\replacing all breathers on the car for peace of mind.

I rebuild my GQ auto for around $1600, so yeh 3k would sound about right.

Shame you weren't in Sydney I would sell you mine for $1500 if it was the same gearbox
