Trans slippin...=(

[Shibby50]

So I was in town the other night and called up smokinhot to run him real quick while i was there, we went at it and it bounced off the rev limiter bout 4 times before goin into third and twice before goin into 4th.. its still driveable but does it really bad when i get on it... so the question is are re-build kits worth it or should I buy a new trans. Dont really have alot of money to throw towards it though so no high end tranny's. Any advice. and yea let the ford jokes fly im ready for it

So I take it that you bought this car with a stock transmission?

With all due respect, don't waste your money on a rebuild, Get a built tranny or its just gonna let go again IMO.

dont rebuild...find one meant to hold the power...or just start w/ the stocker and build it from there thats what i did w/ the gtp

We'll i'm keepin it auto, i was more on the side of wonderin if the high performance re-build kits actually work, i cant really spend over 600. still a stock boy..=(

IMO I think you did this wrong. You should have priorities straight.

If you have a car like that, you should set up an account on the side, an "oh shit" account, just for things like this.. Don't go all out and buy a car like that and then only be able to afford gas. For what it's worth, I'd drive it easy until you can get more money to get it done properly. It's all about self control here.

PM my cousin, blakbearddelite, and ask about who he took his car to. He has a kenne bell stang GT with auto and just had it rebuilt. It hauls ass with the new trans, and he's putting down power where before the trans was just eating itself up.

there is some truth to that, but really, how many people actually do that?


Well...I did, when I got my wrx. I knew full well the trans woes those cars have. And it did save my ass.

you should read your own advice

Werd. You would be pimping at least a L67 instead of a 100% chance of needing another "rebuild".
