If its slipping then its worth sourcing a replacement but, as always, start with the easy cheap stuff first.

hi,

Thanks for that - any idea where a good source of AR35boxes, cheap of course, can be had?  Or is it just a case of look around?

Cheers

Mel

The one I wanted to re-con is no good. Gearbox has been driven dry and as a result is uneconomical to rebuildl.

You should be able to get a decent AR35 for anything from £50 up. Depends where you are, but if you are within 100 miles of Nottingham I know the guy I get mine from is tops for boxes. He only sells an autobox if he has personally driven the car for a few weeks. So, you know that the box works. With breakers it is a pure 50/50 chance, and considering the work invloved, I wouldn't do that.

Let me know if you want me to see what he has got.
