IDI stuff is pretty thin on the ground down here and if you can find it is ridiculously expensive. I will probably rebuild the c6 myself. Has anyone got an idea of good rebuild kits on ebay? Everyone says their kits are heavy duty but I am skeptical.

Hi oz. I recently had mine rebuilt, it turned out to be s gas trans. To replace clutches, new wider bands, shift kit the valve body and mod the torque converter to lower the stall, and buy a large cooler was 2 grand nz. On top of that I removed and reinstalled it myself, and filled it up with new oil.

Yep, its a bit different. I picked it up for 100 bucks. Makes it about a foot longer. Plenty of storage boxes inside and out.

Does this look like an alright kit


http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-C6-C-6-High-Energy-Transmission-Rebuild-Kit-76-96-/220540680436?hash=item33593fb8f4&vxp=mtr

I would also like to put a shift kit in for higher clamping pressure on the clutches
