I believe you can fit an ar35 box to either a 2.5 or a diesel....

Sure someone will be along soon to confirm  :y

It will fit the TD, but you'll need to use the TD bellhousing :y

yup, as Mr TD, Omegatoy, says, it will fit, reuse your td torque converter and bellhousing.  Downside is ar35 is slightly higher geared in 4th

Yes, remove ar25 (with bellhousing and tc). Remove bellhousing and tc and fit to ar35, refit ar35.

Electrics, pipework, etc all identical. May have to change a bracket that holds exhaust in place, but easy enough.

I do a rather horrid 40 - 55mph journey in, I tend to lock mine in 3rd for best economy.
