All done,

inside so the weather didnt matter.

not a bad job once you get into it  :y

I do not know how the old box was still in one piece....

The gearbox we removed was not original.....

It wasn't off a 3.0L....

It wasn't an AR35....

It was an AR25 of a 2.5!!!!!

Ive done 40 odd thou on that box....its never been great, I don't hang about either....How it is in one piece I'll never know  :o

Still, nice younger AR35 fitted and running well  :D

Yet another 'surprise' bodge on your car from a previous owner sorted.

I assume the coolant level etc is all ok now still?

I'd lost a 3/8's bar and Mark an E10 socket....both turned up under the engine 100's of miles later  :D

how they were still there I've no idea!
