Auto gearbox
« on: 23 May 2008, 10:59:38 »
Need to change the gearbox in my S plate 3.0l estate auto it has a massive leak on it and now it only has 1st gear all this has happened pretty quickly since buying the car had a look around at the price of getting this looked at and the cost of repairing and to me just buying a second hand one seems the way to go, yes i know could get same problem again but not spending a fortune on it.

Read a couple of posts saying half an hour to get the old one out and about an hour to get the new one in seems optimistic to me is this true?? also is there an ecu to match gearbox? and does it have to be from a 3.0L or is the 2.5L the same?

An hour and a half to change a gearbox is very optimistic, it will take an hour to get the downpipes off and redrill the broken studs ::)

There easy enough to do, its normally the downpipe to exhaust bolts that snap not the manifold to downpipe ;)

You need an AR35 from another 3.0 car, 2.0 & 2.5 cars use a AR25 which will fit but won't hack the power from the 3.0 for long. You'll be in competition though from the auto diesel owners who have chipped their cars have & have fubar'd their AR25
