AR35 Futures
« on: 16 June 2007, 20:23:49 »
Well I am going to say this the once, but there is not an infinite supply of AR35s, it will not be too long before they will be in short supply.

My suggestion is that every forum AR35 which breaks gets checked over and if possible repaired.

I can see in 5 years there being a shortage so repair them now.

We've seen a few AR35s fail recently, normally with thrust washers in the sump....

So time to rebuild them with new washers - before the scrappies run out of AR35s

You may have found a new money-maker for James.  I'd certainly feel better knowing that I can get a rebuilt AR35 right away for a flat price.

I can rebuild them easily, but there is an ample supply of decent used AR35's, which is why I don't bother. Master kit is around £140 for an AR35.

It's a 3.0ltr automatic gearbox. Should not be confused with the AR25 which is a 2.5 and below auto gearbox.

The AR25 comes with an additional warning:

Do not use this box in a 3.0ltr vehicle, especially on the M4.

 ;) ;D

There is a problem with AR35's though if they've been lying for a while. The brake bands get stuck, (yknow, a bit like your handbrake o clutch will sieze if you leave the car for a while.) and as a result won't engage drive. I've known this happen many a time with spare AR35 boxes for Senators.

Thing is though there're so many around, hardly anyone bothers repairing them.
