Title: ar 35 auto wanted
Post by: tnyquigs on 03 December 2011, 19:14:06

I am having problems with my gear box.  I have a 2.5 TD and the box went.  Reading the posts members suggested replacing the box with an AR35 rather than the more suspect AR25.  However I can't get hold of a decent box.  I have purchased breakers box and found the thrust bearing had disintegrated and scored the top gear badly.

I would also be grateful if anybody knows where I can get hold of the gear box seals as a kit.

Thanks Tny

Yes, it was really helpful, I followed the guide, but had to take the spares out of the old box.  I am worried there might be damage in the replacement. The thrust bearing missing meant there was a groove in the transmission gear.  not having much luck at the moment.  Went to swindon today to fetch the replacement box.  http://images.omegaowners.com/forum/smf2000/Smileys/oofstd/cry.gif

I have a complete car with a very good AR35 box and very good 3L V6 engine (that you could sell on).

It's a '98 3L MV6, txed to end April 2012, MOT'd Nov 2012, yours for £600.

thank you for the offer, just looking for the box. I could not get away with bringing home another motor

No worries, I know what you mean.  One of my mates keeps trying to sell me his BMW 530d (the price gets slightly lower every time) and while I'd take it in a minute SWMBO would have me strung up.
