Hahah JC I know where you are heading.You want one.
My gearbox died a savage and painfull death...cough cough cough!!!My gearbox did not cook.
My auto died because many months ago I blew a rear main box seal while engaging in some spirited driving against a WRX sti going up alfords point road going down to Menai. It just gave way and my tailshaft thrashed around inside the rear extension housing chewing it out.I drove it with oil peeing out for 20 kilometres at 40 kays to a tranny shop.They replaced the rear main seal and I drove off. 12months later it spat tranny fluid out of the breather.What happened was that the rear output shaft with the thrashing from 12 months earlier had caused premature failure of the main box and hence not hold pressure in the box itself. I can honestly say that I do believe that a not released shift kit which I was testing may have sent it over the edge.My car would kick sideways with the shift kit torturing my box and uni joints.So theres a bit more to it than people know. I now run a mild shift kit.
If you get a stallie though replace the oil frequently.My destroyed transmissions oil was black because the hi stall does cause alot of heat in there causing the oil to die much quicker.I have an oil cooler biger than most intercollers as well.
The wheelspin of the converter also relies on the tune.Before Croydon tuned the wagon it would not spin like this.I love it now much more better.However if I touch thr throttle more than 1/4 of the way in the wet it will spin. The wet is definately a speed limited place for me now. I have come to realise that power is a wonderful thing if it is respected or it will turn on you.
