Im just wondering...
trying to figure out if they go mostly on auto's, manual's, or just in general..

 

No rhyme or reason..The problems seem to be mostly centered with units that the lube has dried up in..keep them lubed well and they should last as long as the car..So yes, In general

 

rosemont, did you even purchase the wildbill kit?

 

c'mon rosemont... buy it already!

wait a minute.... I didn't buy mine yet either!! My wife said I had to wait 'til after Christmas... (I told her "this IS for Christmas!") so now I need to get on on it's way!

 

I should get one...
but im scared im gonna mess something up...
lol..
I was thinking about taking it to aamco and letting them do it..
but then again..
I dont really trust anyone..
ooo what a predicament.

 

There really isn't much you could mess up - unless you forget to refill it. Gravity does most of the work. Besides, the kit comes with directions and big pictures.

 

I had to replace a t-case, and I have a manual.

 

Evenly distributed though there are a lot more autos in my area. The most common cause of failure besides leaking out all the fluid is getting stuck in the snow, spinning the wheels at high speed until one wheel contacts dry pavement, BANG!!!

 

how much were those kits?

 

No probs with mine and its an 02
(Hope I havent spoke too soon!)

 

Hi Guys,

To answer some of the questions;

1. Rosemont83, with the kit, I don't see how you could screw anything up. The instructions are very concise and there are plenty of pictures. It (literally) makes draining and refilling the TC easier, quicker, and less messy than changing the engine oil & filter. The kit includes a pump calibrated so you pump in the correct amount.

I don't think Aamco (or any other commercial shop) could drain & refill your TC as well and as accurately as you can.

2. Jvegas, the kit is $110.00 including shipping in the US & Canada. GB adds an additional $20.00 for international shipping and I assume that the extra $20.00 would cover shipping just about anywhere else too.

If any of you have any specific questions on the kit email me and I will be glad to answer them to the best of my ability.

 

Bill:
I sent you an email the other day, but I haven't heard back from ya.
Did you get it?

 

McJaguar,

I sent you a reply Sunday night. You should have gotten it by now.

I have two kits available for immediate shipment and the parts to assemble another 6 kits on hand.

Let me know if you haven't received the email I sent you.

Bill

 

Nice work on the t/c kit Bill
Have you managed to reverse engineer and upgrade the air scoop yet??

Jim

 

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm toying with the idea of a spring loaded air scoop but my next real project is a remote filter for the auto tranny with provisions for drain/refill. The real trick here will be getting all the old fluid out (ie. a "flush" of some sort without the attendant chemistry experiment) and refilling to the correct level sans the Jag recommended "Heat the tranny and fill till it leaks" routine.
