Can anyone in ACT/Canberra help in recomending a Auto Transmission Workshop that has experience with MAZDA 626 with 2 ltr V6 engine, Automatic, 1992 model.

The car is stranded in Belconnen and the owner, a friend is in Sydney.

She was silly enough to drive to ACT for a flower show and it died there.

Being quoted crazy money (near $4K ) to Repair or replace with a S/H unit.

A complete rebuild of my GTS4 Auto with kevlar clutches, 2800RPM Hi Stall and other work only cost me $3K in Melbourne.

Or is it just damned expensive in ACT? :confused:

Sorry I know its not a Nissan but.....

Advanced Transmissions unit 3/86 Hoskins st. Mitchell Ph.62410567

They are the most experienced transmission shop in Canberra, they are not the cheapest but they are fair and honest. Ask for Eddie and say John from Trojan Motorsport refered you.

Thanks very much for that. Appreciate the prompt rely!

I have spoken to Eddie and passed on the message to my friend in Sydney.

Its up to her now to decide which way to go.

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
