Default Auto Rebuild

I think I am getting close to a full rebuild - almost 400k, so not too bad

What in your experience is the best auto tranny place in Melbourne ?

Thanks in advance

Ray

Ray, great to see you around the forums again. How is the stroker behaving itself? What sort of km's would be on the motor now?

I am still lurking

The stroker is doing fine, has 300 K on it Has a small weep from the rear main seal whish will be fixed when the auto is done .

The auto has over 400 K and need some work soonish.

Ford has serioulsy underestimated the value of the Wagon.

They also do other bits and pieces. I've had a couple of wheel bearings replaced there, as well as getting them to check out a possible bad diff or drive shaft. Have had a few transmission services done too, before I started learning how to do my own work.

They're attached to the Bayford Coburg dealership (off to the side) but the experience is NOTHING like a dealership. No 19 year old peroxide blondes in short skirts whose only job seems to be to look pretty and ask if you want a coffee, no plush couches standing on fancy wooden flooring, and no pricing markup to cover the cost of the fancy schmaltz.

Bayford Transmission & Steering - highly recommended.
