Faulty FMX

[g_lower]

anyone had problems with the FMX? I'm sure we all have. the bolts that hold the case to the bell housing on mine came loose and caused it to burn its self up :mad but now I am putting in something a little better a C-6 any Ideas? Thanks Graham

I smoked many an fmx when I used do drive trucks instead of cars. A C6 is always a good idea, I swapped the AOD out of dad's 79 and put a C6 in. The downfall of the C6 is that it's a tank and it eats power. May I recommend a c4 perhaps? lighter, eats less power, and dang near as strong as a c6. As long as you aren't running 400+ ponies, a c4 will be fine.

when are we going to get people to reproduce parts for our cars? they make them for everything chevy :crazy

Lee, I was searching the O'reilly's website and found this.

PIO Shift Selector Cable
1 per car. CA1003 Each $141.99

The problem is ordering one, though. I grabbed a decent junkyard one, but hopefully I won't have an automatic much longer. As for no one reproducing parts for our cars, go with my motto: if it was easy, everyone would do it. it's also the reason there's so many chevys out there.

very true, cant kill a chevy cause the parts are so damn cheap everyone can buy them
