Auto box. Is it worth selling?
« on: 06 September 2009, 12:29:04 »

Hi
I have a auto box taken out of a V reg 2.5 v6. It had done 75000 miles but the cambelt went.
Is the box worth anything? I was going to put it on ebay but didn`t know weather to or not.
Cheers

I just pulled it out before I scrapped it.
Didn`t know if it was worth more weighing it in at scrappers.

Not sure what they are on a 2.5 v6, AR35?, anyway would have thought some of your buyers would be someone who wants to chip thier 2.5 TD Auto and upgrade the gearbox. just a thought.  :y

It'll be an AR25 on a 2.5V6 unless its been swapped before.

£50 sounds about right to me.You might struggle to shift it though as most people who are changing boxes will upgrade to an AR35 if they know what theyre doing.
Having said that ,I didnt because I needed a gearbox in a hurry and someone near to me was selling an AR25 so I had it off them.

Why? is it better? dont the car lose some strength with a ar35 if it normally have a ar25?
Maybe I should aim at a ar35 instead if it fits just as well as a 25? but then again I dont know what im doing  ;D

The ar35 is a uprated gearbox to take more power from the engine.
