Just got a quote from MV Automatice to fit the Transgo kit, $450-480 for fitting, pretty happy with that. Also getting a price from my brothers work mate that is a qualified trans mechanic.

Still tossing up if Ill have a crack myself, doesn't look too hard. Either way would like it fitted in the next couple weeks.

Yeah it includes fluid. That's my thinking also. From Craig it would be about $250 installed and returned to me plus about $100 for oil and my stuffing around to remove and refit the valve body, and the car off the road for what would end up taking a week. I can drop the car off to MV on a Thursday and pick it up on the Friday all done for $450-480.

Craig is a great option for guys living near him but I think MV is a better option for us SA guys.

Yep, the service was awesome.....thanks again craig!

Removing and reinstalling the vb really is quite easy, it's just messy and transmission fluid is seriously stinky. I took craigs advice and left a drop sheet down, then tossed it afterwards.

It took me a little while to get the fluid levels right as what I assumed was the cold level (the cross hatched area on the dipstick) meant that once hot, the levels were totally wrong and didnt line up with the "hot"'markers......

Once that was sorted though, the car is sooooo much better to drive.

Better in drive, better in manual, super smooth on light throttle, nice and firm when you get your foot into it.

In short, get Craig to modify the vb and do the removal/Instal yourself!

You offered to try and unplug it when Craig wanted to throw my valve body across the workshop. That's enough to get some credit for the work lol.

Maybe that's why craigs is tempremental and forgetful, it doesn't want to remember its past lol

Guys just letting you know that there is now an installer in Victoria (Scott) and radelaide (Paul). Kits are still available through me and I am still trying to get them cheaper. My next order is ready to jump on.

      But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
