Will AR35 omega gearbox fit my frontera 3.2 ? 

That's the Isuzu engine in them I think, wonder if the back plate is the same ?

You'd instantly lose 4x4

Gearbox thumps into 3rd then goes into limp mode , been told the box is toast 
Fluid and filter has been changed and made no difference . Sometimes it changes fine cold or hot .

Swap it for a manwell?

Swap it for a manwell?

If i could get the bits i would , but still a lot of work unless the AR35 would work

I looked at this a while ago, on a Frontera I was looking at with a goosed autobox. From what I recall the box is essentially the same but has gubbins for the transfer bolted onto it. Too much buggering about to swap over IF I remember correctly.

Could the frontera be 2 wheel drive only  , only other option is to convert to manual , would take time but im in no rush

If it has free wheeling hubs it should be ok... But never really payed the frontera much attention tbh

Can't you get a recon box?

Not sure tbh tig , i been told it could be the solenoids but plucking at straws swapping them out .. i wont re coup my money back if i sold it as it is so mite as well try an fix it , even if it means converting to 2 wheel drive which is all its used for anyway

If the 4 wheel drive & transfer box is good then the fault finding will be the same as for any other 4L30E box.

First step is to read the codes - chances are that you will have "incorrect speed signal"

That is the exact fault code 

Well , the exact fault code as i read it now is : PO730 Transmission Control Incorrect Ratio ... fault was cleared but its still playing up

P0730

Incorrect Gear Ratio
What does this mean?
OBD Code P0730refers to
This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque converter slip ratio calculated by Transmission Control Module (TCM) as follows: Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B A: Output shaft revolution signal from speed sensor (revolution sensor) B: Engine speed signal from Engine Control Module (ECM) C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes If the actual gear position is higher than the position supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be more than normal. In case the ratio exceeds the specified value, TCM judges this diagnosis malfunction.
Symptoms
Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0730
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - Incorrect transmission shifting
Causes
Possible causes of OBD code P0730
- Low transmission fluid level - Dirty transmission fluid - Shift solenoids - Shift solenoids harness or connectors - Transmission mechanical problems - Transmission hydraulic control circuit The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The TCM has detected that the transmission is trying to mechanically shift to a lower gear than intended
