i 'm sure i sent this message b4 ,just asking how much a bog standard 700r4 is brand new from the US is, including shiping,
I've got an 87 GTA witch i drive fast but fair but the G/Box just gives up every few months,this can't be right?????????????

What exactly is your transmission doing???

Cheers for the reply Aaron but i am a bit of a novice with autos
from what my mechanic tells me reverse is fighting with 2nd or3rd
but it's to late now as he has the car and i've asked him to sort it out(more money)AND MY g/f just moans for all the wrong reasons
Is there an inherent problm with these g/boxes or am i just unlucky,

The only inherent problem your trans has is the mechanic that can't get it right. Try someone else.

What exactly fails on it every few months?

my 86' 700-R4 has 200K miles on it and it works great. i have 4 vehicles with same trans and no probs with any. many of the miles since i have bought it have not been the easiest . so i do not see an inherent with these trans'. so as above stated what exactly does it do or not do? and also stated if the trans is rebuilt properly it will last a long time. i would recommend rebuilding instead of repairing. since as soon as one thing goes out something else is also on it's way out.

:sillylol:

that's too much

thanks for all the replys
G/Box is now in pieces at the other mechanics
all needle roller bearings destroyed on bit that
looks like a tamberine with 4 cogs in it
hopefully back to me by wednesday

mystikal; sorry about the spelling
i had an 83cfi and the g/box had to be rebuilt in that as well
mik
mind u rebuilt by the guy whose doing the rebuild on my GTA

On another note are you flaming about my g/f
