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?

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. Ray

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. |

they have had a dedicated tranny power steer shop since i was doing my apprentice ship in the 70`s, although they where in high st preston back in those days, bayfords has been around since 1917 iirc.
