VY Holden Ute Question

[FranZ]

We've got a 6 banger white VY ute with 190000kms on the clock with a shagged auto box. Any ideas where to get a cheap replacement box?

[stumps.]

If you want to do it yourself, places like the quokka, ebay have them cheap all the time. If you want to pay a bit more but get a warranty, tonys autos will have them.

If you want a step by step on removing the box let me know.

just been browsing gumtree. plenty v6 boxes on there.

[FranZ]

Cheers guys...

The question you really need to answer franz, is why is it stuffed at 190km, thats a bit early.

[Tre-Cool]

sounds like a work car, so it's probably copped a flogging.

[macca88]

190,000 on the same oil?? Or maybe just heaps of single peggers

[FranZ]

It is a work car; it hasn't had the easiest life and I'd hazard a guess to say that it probably hasn't received the regular services it should have!

[joshg123]

Fair, just flush that auto cooler also in case its started to throw its gearset through the oil

Josh, My brothers VZ SS did one at 25,000 km
hardly beaten up on as well, clunked into Drive from factory, Holden said it was fine!

[lazy6]

my old v6 auto has lasted 240thou so far, and 30 of those is on 14psi
and its had a hard life and is starting to go only just now.

They're called a time bomb for a reason folks. Holden has never had fully reliable auto boxes

Covs have boxes in their latest trade cattldog if you want to check their price
