EOI: Anyone got a tip auto gearbox?

Post by Hoodlum11 »

I'm still torn between getting a reconditioned one put in and buying one from someone that has a spare, is wrecking their car, etc. So just so I know what my options are, does anyone on here have an auto box(prefer 5spd, 4 would do if necessary)? If so, how much would you want for it? I'm in Syd so I'd prefer it to be in NSW.

I have a 4spd and I wouldnt get a 5spd they are much more problematic than the 4.

Just to put in perspective, if you do go the second hand you need to remember there will be other associated costs like removal/installation, possible swaaping of drive shafts (not sure if there is a difference) etc.

If you buy another tip box stick to 5 speed if you already have one, otherwise you are going to have issues with the dash and auto ECU not matching. Likewise if you have a 4 speed.

It just aint worth the hassle, and I would consider getting the box into a goot auto trans workshop to get a good tear down and service. Save yourself some headaches down the road. Another $500 spent now will save you having to deal with a hand grenade in afew months time (that's what I will be doing).
