Need some for an ar35 swap on Wednesday...

Thinking may have to be locally - euro car tards?

Not worried on make as long as it meets spec

[JamesV6CDX]

Also, I've totally forgotten how much ATF it takes!! 8l?

[JamesV6CDX]

Last but not least do we have a step by step picture guide for an auto box swap? If not I will do one

James
 I know somebody will come along with he correct amount but when we did mine didnt we use nearly 9lts

[Bigron]

I bought this - is it a good price?

Check VX on TC James, last year 20L was £42.95.

I used Carlube for my top up. if that helps

If the torque converter starts off empty you probably want 10 litres to be on the safe side. Pauls' 9 litres is about on the money, I reckon.

[chrisgixer]

Two 5 litre cans covers it.

Fuchs Titan via google.

Get a cheap pressure fence sprayer to fill said box, from memory with empty torque conveter takes 9L.
are you going to drop sumps before fitting and clean, filter can be washed with petrol.
 
Removal. Unbolt prop, remove down pipes,un plug lamdas,unplug gear box lectric plugsx2, remove cooler pipes and allow to drain,remove inspection cover bung to allow acess to flex plate,torque converter bolts. 

Haynes is helpfull,can be a bit ott tho..
 done a few its easier on a ramp with a gearbox lift,or a friend. Bit of a pain on your back on axle stands,again do able just takes bit longer,  enjoy

Nope. The filters never clog. I'm going to hold it upright (prop end down), remove the sensor right at the bottom, and allow the contents to empty into a bucket.

That way I save time and money with new gaskets on the sumps. I hate used ATF.

Guessing its your own car then

Yes. If it was for someone else I would remove sumps and filter as advertised

In reality it's pointless.

I learnt this trick from sassanach. What he doesn't know about these boxes isn't worth knowing.

Depends how much crud there is in the sumps to get flushed back into the bearings and clutches. I think, on a gearbox not known to me, I'd have the sumps off at least the first time.

I couldn't help myself

I've drained the box and removed both sumps

No crud as such, but some satisfaction had by wiping out the sump pans

I have got exactly 6 litres out of the box,

Anyone know how much the T Converter holds?
