I agree, a replacement box is whats needed.  A few people on here break cars, may have an AR25 cheap?
i really do hope so.

Yes, you can.

You'll need a couple of good jacks/stands, etc.

I'm happy to help out, and have all the kit, if there's a good time :)

My guess is that it was the thrust washer in the sump, and 2 and 2 was put together when it wouldn't work in reverse.

There's a thrust washer in the auto box that sits between the fluid pump and the rest of the box, IIRC, to take up a clearance.

Originally, plastic washers were fitted and these have a habit of breaking up. It's common to find the remains of this washer in the sump of a failed gearbox.

There's an excellent explanation of it by sassanach here: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1183142571
