Guest vertex boy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have an Aristo TT gearbox problems Start up and its fine leave it a couple of seconds and then starts this clanking noise and if you try and put in reverse or drive it sort of grinds and car will stall !! Checked and it had oil so must have been a high miler box sold to be by nippon derby 3 yrs ago ! They r useless as last time round they charged me for new oil type iv and they did not even use new oil let alone the type 4 fluid unfortunately found this out after warranty had finished as it started slipping gears and oil was darker then coke when i flushed it !! I have found a box for £300 but checking if i can save money and get it cheaper has anyone got one HAS TO BE TRIPTRONIC THOUGH. I did ring nippon this morning just to check the price and they quoted me £400 excl vat and delivery and then i thought let me call and ask for the owner who i had dealt with when the last gearbox packed up and receptionist said he wud call back and then after like 2hrs i thought let me call them back and then she asked me whats it about and i explained and then all of a sudden the owner was on holiday for 2weeks. Surprise !! Surprise !! anyways i told her as the last box was bought by them i wanted to spk to the owners sons she then said she would go back and check and she came back and told me due to this they would reduce the price by £100 BUT THIS TIME THE TOTAL PRICE WAS £750 MINUS £100 EXCL VAT AND DEL. I was shocked that the price all of a sudden dud go up in half a day ! WTF these guys are messed !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 See the thread by Hodge about Nippon autos, as Josh^^^ said, not worth trusting with making a sandwich, let alone much more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If i have read this right, you bought a secondhand gearbox from nippon which lasted 3 years - cannot fault them for that if it was me. Oil they used was not typeIV ? how do you know this as the atf oils are the same colour ? did you have it tested. i've never used nippon but agian seems a bit unfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinboy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh ffs! You will get a much better response to questions if you: a) use sentences with less than 20 words, b) stp wth the txt spk, c) CUT DOWN ON THE SHOUTING, d) punctuate. I'm sorry, it's not just you, I'm just sick of reading this kind of thing every third post...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If you've found a Triptonic box for £300, tear his arm out by the socket and be happy to get 3 years of fun out of that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
