Omega General Help / Re: gear selection

Hi guys after some advice, The auto box on my 2.2 estate is being a bit of a pig as of late, It changes up to 3rd then some times sticks there and revs like mad till i let right off when it finds the gear and carries on but it does seem to make the car feel like its holding back like a very slight lose of power.The odd thing is this doesnt always happen, I have been told this could be the gear box needs a service which sounds costly i have also been told it needs an oil change and new filter, and i have read on here that the cam sensor can be a bit of a pig to and tell the ecu what it wants too, i was wondering if there a way to just check the oil lvl without having to get under the car, i dont mind getting dirty but i dont fit under a jacked up car that well lol. I dont think the car has ever had a proper service from new, So after that i was wondering if this is common and whats the fix, thanks all  :y 


How many miles has it done? The OOF advice is to change the ATF and filter(or clean latter) at 60,000 miles. HTH :y

The book of lies says 20Nm, which seems a little low, is this correct.?

My recollection of the key points is
1. V6 (and I4) petrol engines use GM small block bolt pattern for the bell housing. BMW diseasal uses BMW bolt pattern.
2. Petrol and diesel engines have different torque characteristics therefore the torque converter is chosen to suit the engine.
3. AR35 is stronger than AR25 but has same gear ratios.
4. If the new gearbox came from a petrol engine then the bellhousing and torque converter need to be transfered from the old box to the new gearbox before fitting.
5. The gearbox must be stood on end before the bellhousing is removed or else the oil pump, and very important little things, will jump out and forget where they came from ::)
6. There is a plastic thrust washer in there somewhere that is easy to change while the bellhousing is off.........
7. Assembly is reverse of dissembly BUT as said above fit torque converter to gearbox before fitting to engine.

Has anyone got a part number/ and good source for these please?

from the sound of it then the ar25 has finally succumbed to the power of the diesel?? :'(

 No, still going well, but having just upgraded the chip, I am driving Miss Daisy until I change the box. :y
Have you double checked the plate on the side of your box, just on the offchance it may already be an AR35?

Although discussing your previous chip, I reckon it wasn't pushing much power out...


Yes, definitely an AR25. And even the new box also has an AR25 plate, but it is a rebuilt box off a 3.0 or 3.2.

I agree that the new chip gives even more power, hence decision to upgrade box, however, as said earlier, I am not a lead footed driver anyway. :y
