Just took my car for a test drive,thankfully everything appears to be okay.after changing the box. Never again will I change a auto box on my own, At one stage the government scrappage scheme actually came to mind. I noticed the front flexi joint on the prop has seen better days,that is my next job. I have one bolt left over,but with these cars being over engineered,I don't think it will matter. I know its early but I am going to have a beer now,to celebrate

Thanks Stu,I would have let Andy ukmerc do the job but he was to busy,he sold me a good gearbox, I was surprised by the amount of garages that didn't want to know, I would have gladly given anyone a hundred quid ,just to help me do it. I wont say how many days it took me to do the job but its been worth it, I hate seeing the car on axel stands for days |

Thanks Andy,notice I never pestered you once, When you told me how long it would take,I thought you said hours,didn't you mean days, Thanks for the box,If I had got one from a breakers and found it was rubbish,I would have shot myself. The torqe converter was the same in both boxes,happy days ,when I drained the old box some bits of metal came out with the oil, Good photo of you under the ice,[you must be insane]
