yeh all depends on which store you go to. what store in melbourne do you go to?

I go to the one near Monash U and sometimes Box Hill if parts aren't available at the Monash one. Of course I don't expect amazing services, the Sydney branch in Auburn though had no one behind the counter! Sometimes I feel some shops function like ebay operators.

ebay for me - china is so cheap

Ebay is a risk, especially if you're getting parts en-route from China as they quite often don't double check their stuff. I have heard of many stories of poor workmanship and DOA items like spoilt carbon wings, speakers with no cables, screen protectors that actually scratches etc. Also if anyone is jumping on the Android tablet wagon I'd steer clear of those for another year. DOA items will have to shipped back AT YOUR OWN EXPENSES.

My advice on e-bay is to stick to sellers that has a good reputation rating (at least 99.5%) and have sold many of the same items (with feedbacks). I have received unsatisfactory items from sellers but I have also received 100% refund on all of them, they didn't even want the items back! That's China shopping for you!

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
