What Our Customers Are Saying
Great job on my ranger wild track can feel the difference in the auto ..Posted on Google Bradley S My second service with Ron Hill amazed at the service and price, next service I plan on doing the valve body upgrade on my MY19 Colorado I wish I had done it this time! This info I received about the valve body and remap and tune was valuable! I drove the workshop Ute with the remap and tune it was a massive improvement on my standard vehicle. Recommend to all Colorado owners to investigate the upgrades at Ron Hill! And also trans cooler🔥Posted on Google David g It was easy to make a booking for my transmission service, I needed to be able to wait for it to be done so it was suggested I have the earliest time. I received a reminder before my appointment. The service was done promptly and it needed to have an extra flushing of the system … I had purchased the car second hand and it appeared that there had been no prior service of the ctv transmission. All in all I am extremely happy with the positive experience and thank everyone for looking after me and my car. I am happy to recommend Ron Hill Automatics.Posted on Google Barbie D We received exceptional customer service from Ron Hill Automatics when we recently had an issue with our transmission whilst on our caravan trip around Australia. Even though they were booked solid for the next month they were able to squeeze us in and get us back on the road the next day. The issue and repair required were thoroughly explained to us and we were provided with a detailed quote prior to any work being done. Thank you to all your team, we really appreciated everything you did and would have no hesitation in recommending Ron Hill Automatics to anyone.Posted on Google Maria S Highly recommend Ron Hill Automatics - they definitely go above and beyond in their service! I was highly recommended to them by a friend and they did not disappoint! Very knowledgeable and I was very pleased to hear they checked over extra things in my Nissan X-Trail during the transmission service to ensure it was all running smoothly. Such friendly and helpful staff too, willing to answer any questions. I will be back!Posted on Google Alexandra B My LC200 not changing gears at low revs. RH serviced it in a timely way, kept me informed and for a reasonable price. Now like new!Posted on Google Daryl S Job done well Good team to work with Ford Ranger upgradePosted on Google Mark B These guys are the real deal for any auto transmission work, Toyota LC200 I use for towing, upgraded valve body is a must, it is a really direct change between gears now. Great upgrade.Posted on Google Glenn B 2018 px2 ranger towing 20ft caravan very happy with auto temp after cooler and valve installed.Posted on Google Warren H Fitted me in at late notice. Transmission service and thermal valve installed, very easy to deal with and very efficient, finished within 3 hrs , which i think is pretty good , runs great and have seen temps drop, would use again no problemsPosted on Google Geoff C
Transmission Performance Upgrades for Towing, Touring & 4wd's
If your 4WD tows, goes off road or you simply want to maximise your automatic transmission’s longevity and reliability, tailored upgrades improve how it handles load, heat and demanding driving conditions. Our packages are built to maintain shift quality, manage temperature and extend durability, giving you a transmission that performs consistently when you need it to.
Valve Body Upgrade
Upgrading the valve body increases torque capability, improves load handling and enhances shift feel for a stronger, more reliable transmission. This refined hydraulic recalibration produces quicker, more consistent shifts and greater durability. Whether you tow, drive off road or want longer service life, it provides a more confident and dependable driving experience.
Transmission Cooling System Upgrade
Upgrading your transmission cooling system is a proactive way to prevent overheating, reduce wear and extend the lifespan of your automatic. Stable temperatures mean more consistent performance, especially when towing or driving in demanding conditions. It is a smart investment for any owner wanting improved reliability, durability and peace of mind under heavy load.
Torque Converter Lock-up Control Upgrade
A lock-up controller reduces transmission heat by reducing converter slip, the main source of temperature in an automatic transmission. By engaging the clutch earlier and holding it longer, it provides stronger engine braking, better control and lower operating temperatures. This upgrade gives you a cooler, more responsive transmission and a driving experience with improved control under load.
Transmission Remapping
Transmission remapping refines the control system to improve shift timing, gear selection and torque delivery. It reduces unnecessary gear hunting and sharpens response under varying loads. This upgrade is especially effective for vehicles running larger tyres, engine tunes or carrying heavy loads, providing smoother behaviour, better torque access and more consistent performance in demanding conditions.
Temperature Monitoring Devices
Transmission temperature monitoring gives you real time fluid data and early alerts when heat rises beyond safe limits. By allowing you to react instantly, it helps you prevent wear and heat related damage. Ideal for towing or steep inclines, it supports informed decisions and lets you adjust your driving behaviour under demanding conditions.
Transmission Sump Upgrade
A deep sump upgrade increases your transmission’s fluid capacity, giving the hydraulic system more volume for heat dissipation and contaminant absorption. This helps keep temperatures lower under load and can extend service intervals. By improving cooling efficiency and fluid stability, a deep sump supports better reliability and longer transmission life in demanding conditions.
