Heard that one day it may just give out just so. I hoping that it holds out till this semester finishes.

I trying to decide between the singh dude and the la romaine dude though.

Update / Conclusion.

Well I ended up getting the transmission rebuilt the same week after I made that last post.

Car went in Friday morning and iirc it was ready Friday evening self. Had it done by Singh in barrackpore and they were kind enough to change a pair of rotors I had bought that same weekend (for free).
Havent had a problem since, car runs like new, everything feels ok.

We also had a gear wheel (I think its a planetary gear or something so) changed by him previously and no problem since. I think that gear wheel failure is a common problem with the ford rangers btw.

Does anyone know any transmission rebuilders close to Chaguanas? or curepe? Or Freeport?

Just one more time before I buy a foreign used one...

Central Auto Supplies i think just as you turn off of the hway by bhagwansinghs in Chaguanas they're just on the corner of the backroad before you swing by the lights to go on to the mainroad . Obliquely opposite a rim shop

They are good but painfully expensive. I mean "cost of a left kidney" kinda expensive.

It's Chaguanas Auto Supplies BTW

rmlmv · Postby **rmlmv** » November 9th, 2012, 4:59 am

OK Thanks fellas. I was actually ducking big places like that. :-)

But I'll at least still give them a call, and depending on the price, I'll probably buy the foreign used.

been having the same issues on my bz touring, car had to idle for 10mins before reverse went in...i pulled down the crankcase and took out the oil filter, let it drain out for a day, bought a new filter and new oil...reverse went in one time wen i start...i recommend this to anyone with similar problems, as i was about to buy a new tranny...

on another note, anyone have a number for "lalee" from valencia, heard he is a best out there for tranny rebuilds...
