Am waiting to speak to Wholesale Automatics again tomorrow, but I do like the sound of the manual TCC switch as an addition, plus a temp gauge. Was out for a drive today in the forestry tracks and coming back home from any direction into Cairns involves coming down a winding range. Found myself sitting in 3rd for most of it with the odd touch on the brakes. I reckon being able to hold gears going downhill with an Auto would be how I'd want to drive it.
Gecko - have you played with the programming on yours yet?
@ T-roy86 - mate, if a 4.2 is too expensive, then sit down for the pricing on a new chev. If you want to go for a crate TD version, then allow $35K installed, if you go to Brunswick in Perth. I haven't heard of anyone in SA, but there could be someone doing it. Wholesale Automatics will sell you an upgraded Valve Body for your Auto that they reckon will handle the Chev no worries. I think price is around $850, so factor that in as well. Brunswick will do reco motors a whole lot cheaper, and also if the engine is non-turbo'd it will be cheaper again. Have a chat to them about your options if you are interested. Also ring around for insurance BEFORE you do it so you know what you are in for. Most here found Shannon's the cheapest.
