The ar35 is a uprated gearbox to take more power from the engine.
Do you need any more parts? or is just a simple swap between ar25 and ar35? btw dont worry, i wont be doing the actual work of changing gearbox myself  :)

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

It'll be an AR5 on a 2.5V6 unless its been swapped before.



Ok, So whats on a 2.5TD auto?

AR25 mate - thats why if you chip em its worth putting an AR35 on ;)

Ok, dont quiet understand that one, if you chip a 2.5TD it brings it up the BM spec, about 143bhp if your luckey, so why do you have to upgrade to AR35?, if the the 2.5V6 AR25 runs at 175Bhp'ish, surely cant be down to torque?  :o

Its not the increase BHP that kills the ar25 its the torque. IIRC the AR25 is designed to handle 250nm of torque whereas the AR 35 is designed to take 350nm :)

Ok, should have looked at the torque figures before I posted the question, Cheers Pete.  :y

AR 25 is used on all models unless it's a 3.0/3.2 which have AR35, AR25 in good condition ie with history £50 plus, AR35 in good condition, again with history £75 plus.
