It is frustrating but yes I have evolved from my first steps into the car modding. I understand what youre saying .If it is a wear and tear item ..then so be it. JC I have made an adapter and running a transmission temperature gauge.I never let it get hot and never drive it hard unnecesarily.
I will go past ford and get a quote on the switch and change it myself.. I have to say that I have met some fantastic mechanical workshops in my travels.I am happy to mention these .. Easy automotive newport.. Smithfield diff and gears Crescent motorsports Racetech heads. Rocket industries Motorsport connections torque convertor industries seven hills for the stallie .Len Pendlebury is a big champion.300 odd dollars for a 2500 stallie which gets me 2.0 60 footers!! As for parts..I cant go past new ford parts for quality. Ill give them that. All the wreckers second hand stuff i have replaced 3 times over..not worth it on a car you want in perfect condition.

I suppose seeing the wagon again on the front page of wsid is a big upper for me today
The stingray is getting good exposure from those legends at wsid...Might have another crack at best reaction time this week if I can get out there..http://www.wsid.com.au/

Seriously Stav, have you considered a manual?
Grab a conversion from a wrecking yard, bang new bearings, synchros and good oil in, and grab a decent clutch and all your problems will be over. And you'll have the benefit of MUCH greater driving enjoyment, as autos suck so much compared to manuals. Rick.

Kicking myself Stav. When you posted the earlier thread, the last time the 'box sh@t itself, I should have said to make sure they fitted a dipstick while the box was out of the car. Not only does it make it easier to monitor the oil level & top it up, you can also keep an eye on the oil's colour. Sorry mate...

Its cool..no worries.The car drives excellent bar the little problem which is intermittent.It can wait.I will fix it with my next line of mods.The mods will be reflected in a quicker or slower time..
