Any garage worth their salt should be able to fit a second-hand gearbox shouldn't they? 

Got to be worth doing if you're getting the car for free

Well apparently it's a relatively easy fix but never actually stripping a gearbox down I don't know if its worth ago or not

Drop a PM to sassanach, he is a gearbox expert. He can strip down an AR25/35 in seconds

nice bimmer..
 
 parts and repairs are not cheap so be warned.. it must be ZF and costly even in scrappies..

[albitz]

I would like to see your insurance quotes for it Sam.
Nice car though.Well worth fixing I would have thought.

[Gaffers]

Changing the box should be simple enough, rebuilding it looks tricky.  Not sure I would want to do that on someone else's car

Sassanach gota be favourite.

I'm itching to fiddle with an Auto box innards, but not on someone else's car, with no prior experience.

Best of luck.

To be honest I was thinking the same I got quote between £1900 to £2750 but if I restore it and have it ready for November I can get it down to £1300 which is £100 more than Miggy but well see how it plans out

Looking at those pictures I'd have thought open heart surgery would be easier 


Looks nice enough well worth saving if it can be fixed for a reasonable price


They seem to make good money.

Always liked the look of the E39 MSport.

Does your dad want to adopt me?
