There a rebuilt torque converters available in Australia and I imagine any decent auto shop could modify yours to suit. I’m unfamiliar with 510’s as we didn’t have them here. I doubt their stall speed would be any higher though, and undoubtedly weaker.

Tell me about it. That’s why I started selling them.

Sorry the gumtree add had timed out. Back online now. Emailed you Jerry.

PM’s through this site work fine if you cannot find the Facebook page. Alternatively there is an Australian selling site called Gumtree that I list these on. thanks

Not anymore, but still feel inclined to offer a product that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

You can message me through Facebook Jatco Shift Kit page. Or send me you PayPal address and I can send a request that way. Thanks

Sending a lot of these to the states recently. I know CD/DVD’s are getting a little outdated but unfortunately USB memory sticks cost a lot more. If you would prefer these files on a memory stick instead it’ll be an extra $5AUD at this stage. Hopefully cheaper in the future.

Did you message me already Will?

Sure thing. You can message me through the Jatco shift kit fb group, or post your PayPal address and I can send a request. Have to post another one to the US shortly anyway.

It might be the image hosting site. They were uploaded over ten years ago.

Posted another kit to the US today and thought I'd put a reminder here. Kits still available. Thanks

Thanks for the comment. Shift kits aren't just for drag racing, they just improve the overall performance of the transmission. It is a small market. I struggled initiatially to find anyone who actual knew how to modify the jatco box. B&M sell DIY shift kits for most GM and Ford model boxes so I thought I'd develop the same thing.

Just a friendly reminder these shift kits are still available. Thanks

I started by removing the old clutch and gerneying everything so I could see. I've had a new pilot/spigot bearing to install as well as a new slave cylinder and bearing. The rear main was leaking so had one of those to put in as well. I was going to use this oppertunity to throw in some tougher valve springs and a new timing chain but I didnt think I would make it in time so I have concentrated on the things I need to get done to run it down the strip in two weeks time. A few hots spots Changing gears should be a bit easier with a new one of these New spigot bearing New rear main Taking water pump, balancer and front timing cover off for seal replacement New slave I extended the clutch fluid 'in' fitting so the braided hose didnt have to bend on such an angle to get to the master cyclinder. I just have to get the right fitting to go into the slave on the fluid 'out' line and I will hook up a remote bleed line. It looks like an M8 x 1.25 or a common bolt thread.

Took some videos today on my son's Ipod because its supposed to record at 1080p quality. It doesnt. And the cheap suction cup holder I bought to hold the ipod moves around a bit too. I finally pulled my finger out and ordered a clutch. This of course ment I had to pull the engine and box out to replace the clutch. I gave it all a gerney and I will endevour to fix some oil leaks while I'm there.
