Hey Guys,

looking for some input around what auto tranny people are using of have used in the past in bedfords.

Thinking just a regular 3 speed will be fine?

Im just sick of the dramas with linkages and city traffic and auto will make more sense.

whats the do and donts?

thanks guys.

Hey Guys,

I moved house over the weekend (richmond-prahran) and after a long day it came time to move the old girl. After putting in a new 4 speed and new battery i was feeling positive in getting her the 5 k's to her new home.

But of course she had other ideas.

Coming up Williams road she got stuck in third stalled and then locked up and blocked off traffic. After looking over it all and not being ale to 'pop' her out of gear the pressure of crazy rich suites in there bmw coupe's yelling abuse broke me and a tow truck was called.

Now I am hoping that one of you amazing people could give me an insight in what could be the issue (diff gone? linkages?) and what my best option is as she obversely doesn't roll anywhere.

Thanks Guys,

Rossco.
