Hi Joe,
I just got off the phone with 3d-Trans. He agreed to give us a £100 discount in respect of the Level10 kit.
The kit they would normally use costs them much less than $500. In addition, the level10 kit is for a USA transmission and doesn't have all the bits necessary for our VTD transmission - so they have to buy in some parts anyway.
He expressed some concern that the Level 10 high-stall torque converter may have contributed to the failure. In fact with a high-stall TC, they will only give 6 months warranty on the gearbox. So, we're going back to a standard TC to get the full 12.
Good news is the planetary gears are OK, so no extra expenditure needed on that.
We agreed on just over £1650 all inclusive. Car should be ready middle of next week.
Can't wait to get it back on the road.
Phil.
