Ok friday morning, driving into work, nailed it, auto dropped down a gear, car kicked out sideways and scared the crap out of the old lady next to me. But when i backed off, there was crunching, smashing, and really terrible sounds :S Auto is ИИИd, yet again. this one didnt last 2 months. Gotta bite the bullet and get something either fun "manual" or something strong, C4 auto???
I need help coz everyone says T5 wont last long, but the C4 is like 4 grand??? I want to spend 3 grand max, MAX, on a solution Im near the Dandenong area, and want my car back ASAP. Who knows where to take it to? and what should i put in it?? |

I thought you were trying to sell it?
Manual would be heaps of fun, but unlikely to last long if you abuse it.

Whatever you decide, it would be unwise to keep buying secondhand components... in some ways you're lucky to get 2 months of use out of a totally untrustworthy component.

With your BTRs, have you run them with a large(r) trans cooler? They die rather quickly when they're hot.

A larger, aftermarket cooler might be what's needed. If you stick with an auto that is
 And if it'll fit with the bigarse 'cooler! |

T5Z as far as I know would have to be from Ford, or talk to FTG.
I would say manual, but then yeah, its T5Z at a minimum. If I was you I would buy a cheapo laser and drive that during the week, it will hurt, but in the long run be better off. Then save for either a good manual or some auto.
