Hi Guys

Does anyone know where I can find a good supplier for AR35 soleniods? How many are there in total - 6? Are they all the same part?

Cheers
James

hi james, ive got an old AR25 past saving which has got the solenoids still in it, i can see 2 small ones at the bottom front, they have different coloured bodies if my memory serves me, so if you find they are the same you are welcome as i was going to give it to the rag & bone man [yup we still get them ], also if you find out where they are situated & how they come out it would be a bonus , failing that if you want new try jpat as they said to me they do everything for the auto boxes.

cheaper to replace the box as they are approx £50 each and there are five of them!! one to apply the band,one to control oil pressure,one to apply top gear lockup,and two to change gear ie 1-2 solenoid and 2-3 solenoid.

[sassanach]

ar25 solenoids are identical with ar35 solenoids across the range

[unlucky alf]

well if they aint difficult to get out i`ll retreive them if james wants them, if not they are going bin bound

[JamesV6CDX]

Sassanach/Tim,

Thanks for that. You'll remember replacing the box with me once -don't fancy doing it again

The only issue I'm having is a rough upshift when giving it some beans. Which solenoid do you think would be responsible for this? (seeing as the thrust washers / gearbox internals seemed ok?)

[JamesV6CDX]

Tim - in a word, yes please mate

Edit - I'll have the sumps too, if you have no use for them

[JezInBrum]

I will wish you luck on the transplant. IMO unlesss you are sure of whats knackered its too much messing about. Best opt for a box

[unlucky alf]

hi james, if i can find where these solenoids hide i`ll get them out, [anyone??]unless you can find a way of picking the whole thing up & have the lot!!!,as for the sumps im affraid im in the process of fitting them with drain plugs as itll make servicing easier, but as JEZ says perhaps changing the box would be easier

[Marks DTM Calib]

Remove the sumps and its obvious where they are.....seem to recall they are secured in by roll pins and nothing more.

[unlucky alf]

ive got the sumps off already but didnt take alot of notice of what was in there, so im looking for how many???

[unlucky alf]

yup i found 5, as you say DTM roll pins hold in 3 of them, the two in the small sump area have a 10mm bolt through a fork bracket, i`ll get them out tomorrow morning james all being well
