That sucks mate, i wouldnt let them get off that easy unless they told you there was no warranty. Thats bull**** i rekon. I think what you need to remember is if a name is well known and big its obveously going to be expensive, just stick to word of mouth because your better looked after i rekon. goodluck anyway

I would steer clear of RACE Sh1T, op's sorry RACE SHIFT. I went through 2 auto's through him in a week! My younger brother also went there around the same time, same problem. Does not like honoring his warranty that he clearly gives out. I would go to Preston diff's, if you had any problems with faulty items i know they would be more then happy to replace them. I got my auto and diff built through them along with my cousin. I couldn't be more happy!

I'm having my LSD reconditioned and 3.9's fitted this week at Preston Autos & Differentials, charging me $1200 for the work. Also freshening up the automatic with a Stg.2 shift kit and tranny cooler. I had an auto built my Race Shift a couple of years ago and it was ****in ****house, don't recommend them to anyone and the bloke running the joint seem dodgy as.
