You do not realise I don't have the luxury on this platform like the US guys do rite?

Anyhow, if you followed any of my threads properly you would realise that I did take my boost control issues to a different repuatable shop and they fixed it first go.

And the trans issue will also be taken to another shop, specifically a shop that has worked on plenty of RE7 automatics from the Patrol.

Revzone in Melbourne, Victoria. At least contact them.

Tried contacting them several times, very hard to get a response or any direct help. Guess I need to be down there in VIC and go see them.

So I don't think the trans is shot even though 2 mechanics thought the whining noise was coming from the transmission area, it was noise due to issues with the check valves.

Got the car back from the mechanic who fixed the check valves, noise is gone. Took the car on a meet/cruise last night and it was super responsive, quick, and did not miss a beat in any gear and I was beating on it for a few hours. I could not believe how smooth the car felt after all the issues were fixed up.

But oh man, does this thing want to step out on me very easily every time I hit boost! Those TTs really kick in hard!

After having my transmission replaced @ 55k miles (stock except for intakes and CB FI exhaust); I already plan on either:

1) Selling the car
2) Built transmission (I just have a bad feeling this replacement won't last)
3) Transmission cooler just to buy some time

That new Supra, funny how they mention it's has space "available" for a transmission cooler (aka: ya might wanna buy one if you're going to run it like all these people are in the press vids).

Go 3) first. Then go 1) if you still have problem with your transmission after that. Be careful of 2). Stay away from those so-called performance transmission rebuilds. PM me if you want to know my story.
