Your right about it being a bug once you start.. already trying to source my second project. - Which should prove more popular when selling:

'96 CDX TD Estate. - Forsale locally dead autobox

Even better when if found all those AR25's in my local scrappy. My only problems i can see is getting those out of the scraped cars. How hard is it removing an autobox? - I take it you have to do all of it from underneath the car?

That poses a problem in the scrappy as they are usually bottomed out with no wheels on them, so acess to the underneath of the car is hard, unless i turn it over!! Grin

Tunnie.

The gearbox that dies in the 2.5TD is the AR25... so replacing with another AR25 is not wise.
Replace it with an AR35.Much better suited.

Also I would not buy an autobox from a scrap yard. Get one from a breaker where hopefully they will have checked it and give some semblance of a warranty.

Believe me, you don't want to fit a gearbox only to find it does not work. Angry
