What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

[GT 550]

Did it get rid of the notchy changes especially when cold?

Not entirely 1-2 still a tiny bit notchy but I possibly feel it more as I shift with a lot of sensitivity when it's cold. Then again I could feel an ant fart under the car so others may not notice. Can't recall if it improved other shifts cold but worth it just for the improvement in warm shifting.

Ok. Where did you buy it from as having trouble locating it in Oz. Thanks

IIRC correctly I got it on ebay. Just had a look and can only see this but you could contact them and see if they'll list the right stuff;

Alternatively these guys are listed as agents on the BG USA website:

No worries, IIRC there's a Royal Purple alternative that's popular with the US guys - a search on here will find it - but I can't speak with experience on that product.

As you mention Royal Purple, I have always used their engine oil in my Mustang and get it at Supercheap as a special order. They would likely special order the gearbox oil as well. Check the Royal Purple Australian website.

Feels good to get the wheels back on after so long. Happy with the brace fit now. Maybe time to do some driving for a change and try out the “new” track app

Going in for its 5 year service tomorrow

Had a very good servicing experience at the dealer today - probably the best yet.

Everything I asked of them was done without question. Service adviser knows that I’m particular about my car and explained that they would take extra measures to protect it, such as using fender covers and wheel braces (instead of the hydraulic gun) which would not scratch the wheels.

Also didn’t try any silly upsells and no mid-morning call to say that they had found issues.

Didn’t wash or vacuum the car (as requested) and it was.ready at the promised time.

I don’t ask for much, but it instills a bit of confidence when they do what you ask with no fuss.

Big thumbs up to Dominelli Ford, Kirrawee - I will be a returning customer.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that requirement on the rego papers - thought we had another year.

They're doing that tomorrow also.

You planning on upgrading the oil cooler @peterdee, or are you just going to run the gauntlet?

I was planning to do the upgrade, but not sure now after reading about how poorly Herrod treat their customers. That's pretty shabby treatment.
I still have 1 year left of warranty (i purchased the 3 year extension from the dealer when I purchased the car), so i think i'll wait and see. Are you change the oil cooler.

 

[Drewbo]

Are you change the oil cooler.

Still undecided.

I would like to keep this car long term, so I might have to bite the bullet as Ford Australia seems to be silent on the issue.

 

[snake bite]

After much thought, picture looking and occasional viewing in real life I bit the bullet and purchased a OEM GT350 Track Pack Rear Wing. Arrived today. Now to drill some holes in the boot

...and post photos after?
