AR35 from 3.2 into 2.5
« on: 06 May 2011, 20:34:49 »
A member who has a 2.5 with a knacked autobox is interested in the AR35 from my 3.2.
He was under the impression that he needed a box from a 3.0 rather than a 3.2. My impression is that they are identical ?
Any other info he needs to know to do the swap ? Afaik its just a straight swap. :-/

Thanks Cap,n. Any mods required, or just bolt straight on ?
Does the 2.5 torque converter have to be used, or the 3.2

Keep the 2.5 torque convertor and bolt the box on.

I have made a start on removing the box from the 3.2, but I have thought of something which might present a problem.
The engine is seized, so I wont be able to turn the crank to undo the torque convertor bolts. Will the box just pull away from the convertor anyway ?
