Hello again guys!
Right, while (still!) sorting my 3.2 I have stumbled across a gem, 1999 2.5td Elite estate, broken gearbox, problem is, I need her on the road tomorrow!
I know I am best to upgrade to the AR35 and I think I may have found one from a 2001 3.2
Question is, does it bolt straight up and do I need the torque converter or are they all the same?
Many thanks as always! :y

Torque convertor and bellhousing from the original AR25 fitted to the car today.
Then bung the AR35 on, its worth changing the thrust washer first though.

yup, for the few quid it costs whilst the box is off.
Obviously, also worth changing the ATF before running it on new car.

Both jobs I need to do before fitting my new box, just need to make time to sort it :-[

And if you dont manage to get this sorted in time for when you need it send the details of the TD my way :y lol Although I have actually run out of 3.0 auto boxes atm!!! :o

Firstly, cheers guys :y
Secondly, Cock it! lol Thrust washer? Cant get to a vaux dealer before eob as stuck at work :(
Possibley a chance my house mate can, anyone got a part number? (he cheekily askes :D)

I don't think you will get a new thrust washer from a VX dealer. They are made by a company called Sonnax. Do a search on my replies as I posted the part number a few weeks ago I think to JimBob's similar request.
JPat supply them along with the two gaskets and filter you need for the oil change. You might also get some OOF discount - see top of postings item.
There is an excellent "How to change" in the guides part of the forum.

Had a quick look but with no joy, friend just went into a vx dealers and they had no idea! Looks like I'll go without for now, should be ok. Better get back to work!
Cheers guys :) :y
