Title: A35 Gearbox problem
Post by: tnyquigs on 02 December 2011, 17:39:36

I have purchased a 2.5 TD Auto and the gearbox is not selecting any gears except revers.  i am lookingh to get a second hand box and the breakers say they have two gear boxes both AR35's and each box has a plate one with the mark "DP", the other with the mark BE.  Do I need to be wary of the plate mark or will any Diesel AR35 box fit my Omega??  Your technical knowledge / help would be appreciated.

As long as its off an Omega, and is AR35, it'll fit :y

You will have to use your old bellhousing and torque converter, as the V6 ones are different (all AR35s come from 3.0/3.2  V6s)

Thanks, as a new member I am trying to get round the site, is there somewhere on the site that i could seek a second hand box.  All of the posts for spares relate to 2009

Does any body know anything about the DP or BE markings?

it might be age related, if theyre both ar35s off omegas then they will be the same, might be 3.0 and 3.2 HTH
