Very knolegeable about the svx new diff ratios etc... also did reaserch for me regarding the 4.44 swap.... sounds trustworthy

2) Wollongong Automatics want between $1500 and $1800 (depending on wheather the gear set needs replacing) to do a rebuild of my box, replacing everything else... includes labour, they will possibly use used parts ??? i dont know for sure they mentioned using parts from spare boxes they have... sounds a bit doddgy im not sure, very nice people to deal with even if they didnt quite remember me at first.

3) Get JDM box from Japan

what would you do?

I think i am swaying to 1) and not goin cheap but i have very little money (20yr old student) so there ya go... advice please?
Sorry meant the Rigoli car.

Option 1. Sounds like a good deal. I'd go with the ones that have the experience.
