Default trying to find g6et wheels and someone to build a xr6t gearbox around geelong&melb.

Hey guys, im trying to find somewhere or someone to trade in my darkagents for g6e turbo wheels but alot of shops won't do it. I've offered cash on top because I know its the only way but I still get rejected. I tried wheels2u but the bloke will not answer his phone no matter how often we call. Any his of decent shops or whatever.
Also guys i blew 3rd and 4th in my baby and its time to get a new box done with the same casing but everything strenghtened ( Kevlar bands, possibly billet components, etc) also a shift kit.
Now, i tried dtm in geelong that could do all that for 3250 but I had to drive in the performance thing where I have to shift up but it shifts down its self. I want something done where I can still drive in normal drive mode. Correct me if im wrong but I've been told you can get shift kits that still drive in drive mode....
Any and al advice appreciated

Transmission see http://www.dtmauto.com.au/

They love Fords & Drag Racing - also recently purchased a CNC laithe machine to make their own transmission components

They also have a Facebook page under DTM Transmissions which shows you pics

As stated I have tried them but I would have to drive in semi auto to drive it. Paul Adams cab do one with the shift kit and what not that can still be driven in normal drive.

Opps lol

Is it s BTR 4 speed?

I have an electronic shift kit in my BTR 4 speed but it is in no way close to how a shift kit should act

Doesn't seem right, no one does better BTR's than DTM. Why wouldn't it work in drive, doesn't make sense. They have done a heap of these and i've never heard of that.

Unless you are asking them to fit one of their manual valve bodies.

Yeah I think they were going to.
They said if I run it im drive it won't take off in first only second.
I've heard from people Paul Adams is suppost to be the best at gearboxes in Victoria??
I think ill stick with dtm if I can get around the drive problem
