Default Transmission Suggestions

Well the borg has blown and i'm looking for a new transmission setup. There was a heap of suggestions thrown my way today at Heathcote but i can't remember them all!! Whats your suggestion on a good setup for my xf ute, taking into account that it is used for towing tandem trailers and is only occasionally raced
Cheers

Lets keep in mind that mel does have a hugely powerful 250 crossflow, extractors, and it runs dual fuel......Definately needs a powerglide I think.

Seriously, A borg Warner 35 Auto can be a very reliable unit, and better than the Borgie 51 series you currently have. Next to that, the JMM 3000 stall will fit into any BORGIE....
