George, the planetary  gear set for the Ford AOD is real cheap. Most of the

used

transmission I have seen taken apart the planetary gear set is in excellent
condition and very usable. Its the tx clutches that go out first. I know

you

have AOD tx's down there. If you start making something with your lower

labor

rates you probably could sell it in the larger  U.S. market successfully.

Here is another excellent idea for you guys down there IMHO. Sell a housing
and shaft kit and let the people up here buy the TX parts locally and

assemble

their own PSRU. Would also cut the cost of shipping to the states.

Paul,
Don't worry I have thought of that and believe me if I thought I could, I
would do it. But being a bit of a perfectionist, I won't 
do anything unless I'm 100  percent
positive it worked to expectations. Anyhow Don is working on his now -lets
see where he gets, he does have all the facilities.

Robin and I are planning a trip to Australia. We would like to see as 
much of the country as possible. Is there a train from the east coast
to the west coast? We don't want to fly commercial as you usually
don't get to see much. We also don't want to drive as we think it
might take too much time.
