Any garage worth their salt should be able to fit a second-hand gearbox shouldn't they?  ???

Got to be worth doing if you're getting the car for free  :P

Well apparently it's a relatively easy fix but never actually stripping a gearbox down I don't know if its worth ago or not

Drop a PM to sassanach, he is a gearbox expert. He can strip down an AR25/35 in seconds  :y

Changing the box should be simple enough, rebuilding it looks tricky.  Not sure I would want to do that on someone else's car :o

Sassanach gota be favourite.

I'm itching to fiddle with an Auto box innards, but not on someone else's car, with no prior experience.

Best of luck. :)

To be honest I was thinking the same I got quote between £1900 to £2750 but if I restore it and have it ready for November I can get it down to £1300 which is £100 more than Miggy :) but well see how it plans out

Looking at those pictures I'd have thought open heart surgery would be easier  :o :o ;D


Looks nice enough well worth saving if it can be fixed for a reasonable price :y


They seem to make good money.

Always liked the look of the E39 MSport.

Does your dad want to adopt me?
