V6 Lux Gearbox Options
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 8:01 pm
Help
A mate of mine has a 1985 lux with a V6 commodore motor in it (it was a 2.4 Diesel origionally). He is running 33s and twin lockers (if that maters). He has blown 3 gearboxes, in about a year and a half. They have just been the standard 5 speed manuals, and one was a dodgy second hand one that lasted a week.
Anyway he has asked me to see what you guys think.
He is tossing up the idea of the dyna box from marks (bout $3000) or a full shift kited commo auto(bout $4500). Also thinking about replacing with another standard box (bout $500).
Another question he had was: are the current v6 gearboxes any stronger than the older boxes and are they compatable.
So what would be the most durable box and would it be worth it?
Anyway your thoughts, feedback and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Justin
