jsut wondering if anyone on here has done the conversion, wondering which trimatic i use from a 6 or 8 is there a conversion kit wots involved as me 5 speed has stripped 2nd gear and looking at putting auto in with shifty, stally, shifter and such just wondering wot is involved also is there anyone in adelaide that may not wot to do????

come on guys someone must have done the conversion have done this before i need some help

forget using a trimatic get a KEAS jatco save u the hassle of putting a timatic in your car .....KEAS autos are tuff as

will i have to change loom, trans comp or so i no i have to change flywheel, tailshaft but no sure on wot else

forget about the trimatic and u will have get a loom and bits and piecies

idd go racematic from hugos have been in a vlt with one was awsome they sell the whole kit for vl turbo lol what loom u talkin about??

thought the main looms were different manual / auto also with the jatco i woul dhave to runa trans comp aswell. thats why im thinking bout trimatic or c4, wots a racematic excatly and $$$

i've used a trimatic before not worth having......call KEAS he'll help you out if you get jatco from KEAS you dont need the trans computer & utilizes all factory parts these gearboxes are rated to handle upto 550kw i think from memory a 350kw 3 speed complete ( trans, convertor. dip stick & filler tube ) & comes with a warranty for around $3000

cmy, don't bag the Trimatics, they're a good auto if built right and you can also put alot of power through them. But I do agree that a Jatco would be a better fit for the Nissan 6, and Paul @ KEAS certainly knows how to build them right!

i had a trimatic from a well known gearbox shop.......$4400 worth lasted about 2500km i was not happy & i wouldn't recommend using a trimatic to anyone!!!

so you got one bad box, doesn't mean they're all like that and it doesn't mean all Transmission shops are the same!

cheers guys cmy - my mate has a trimatic behind vnv8 in Lh torry, car only for drags and burnouts, has lasted for two years now. cmy \ itsgmh / cheers for the help now considering jatco 3 speed, possibly 3200 stall, stage 2-3 shifty, manualised, hurst shifter and BM trans cooler.. hopefully

the auto came from melbourne ..... i'm not stupid enough to buy that sort of gear from toowoomba

Highly recommend KEAS, he stands by his product 100% VLMuzza and stockvlt both have jatco 3spds and both run 10s. If i was building another VL i would definatly go one
