Hi guys, After blowing my 2nd jatco, I've decided to convert to trimatic. Looking at these bell housings from torque power in geelong, has anyone used them before? or what have people used? Also what do people use for the crossmember? I've been told vk? Basically I'm just looking for someone who has done this conversion to point me in the right direction of what I need to complete this. I've done a search and couldn't find what I'm looking for. Thanks guys Rob Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have a bellhousing and trimatic in unknow condition, been told its kitted so will only suit rebuild. Bell housing has been machined flat. PM me a offer.

Dude get the bell housing from the people that do ya converter that way its all matched, the bell housing is around the 400 mark, use a vk cross member and vl v8 speedo cable, also use vk 6cyl tail shaft, vk t-bar.... Just make sure u get a trimatic from a commodore and not hq or the likes as the shifter is on the oposite side and ull have to use an after market shifter like b&m

I spoke to dominator yesterday and got quoted 450 on the bell housing. Also spoke to torque power in geelong and got quoted 675. Don't know why there's such a price difference. What bell housing did you use? Thanks

Please dont go trimatic robby.

the new torque power bellhousings are a far better bellhousing, its completely cast up, no welding pump to bellhousing any more and then cnc machined perfect. thats why you pay more.

Thanks for that bud. Spoke to Craig from torque power today and he explained all that. Ended up purchasing that one. Also I was told by him that tce make the converter to suit there dimensions.

Yeah tct or tce will make them fine, you just have to tell them what your using exactly

I used the dominator one and not once did i have a drama....prefer to put the 200-300 i saved elsware, waste of coin if ya ask me

Is it a welded one by dominator?

Sorry no convertor, it was striped and inspected and found to be shagged. TCE can make you one to suit. please dont use a dominator I have heard to many horror stories with them.

Every person ive spoken to with a trimatic has had a problem with it at one stage or another. Hopefully yours is all sweet.

Ah well each to there own i swear by dominator, never had 1 issue with them or any of there products and verry competitve prices expecially when u get to know them.......

I used a vk 6 x member in mine modified slightly took all of 5 minutes same as what one useing now for my glide as for speedo cable well dude like I said vl v8 as the v8 came with trimaric it's a straight fit no stuffing around or modifying and floor plate well yeah I used vl v8 my mistake untill I got a b&m
