Title: autobox leak = oh b******s
Post by: bogit on 17 April 2007, 09:15:24

 :o
my sump bolts are all striped and spinning, so took it round to local auto box specialists,as i rearly dont have the time,inclination,patience,space or tools to remove ,drill out and helicoil the gear box sump bolts in situ.

so they poped it up oin there ramps, and .....

the leaks not from the sump,(so it must be held up up with some good mastic :) )

its coming from between the cases. quoted 1500 to pull down strip and replace.

so , seeing as ive got another car comin with a oh so handy ar35 box attatched, how many 12 hour days of blood sweat and tears am i facing trying to do a auto box swap on my gravel drive ................????????????????

Never done one before?.... I would say 4-6 hours, with 2 people and 2 (decent) jacks.

Not that bad at all. :)
