very much so, loose housing bolts would cause slight movement thus screwing up the main shaft seal Sad

I'd be interested in any problems encountered, (perhaps you could do a how to?) as I will be swapping the AR25 on my TD for an AR35 soon. Thumbs Up!

no probs to encounter, gearbox caseings are the same, direct replacement useing the ecu from the 25, only thing you may have to do is if the 35 came from a petrol is to swap the bellhousing from your 25 box and you will have to use the torque converter from your engine as they are matched to the engine power.

Thanks, yes I knew about the TC. It has to come off with the box I believe, and be fitted to the new box before it is refitted with its new bellhousing. Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!

yes thats right, and make sure the TC is seated right or you'll have to drop the box again and redo it as i found out this evening Angry
but the box is now in place and secured, just got to fit the rest of the bolts, torque it all up and fill with atf tomorrow then go for a test drive Wink

started on the swap this evening, just the rear brace and 2 bellhousing bolts and its ready to drop, all going well so far Smiley


thats put the kiss of seath on it then.

i always keep a neutral mind until job is done, that way, if it goes wrong, you can't blame anyone or yourself lol

job all done, box filled corectly and running smooth as, and with no leaks at full operating temp Smiley

must say many many thanks to Albs for supplying the box at a fantastic price,  Grin
ps: do you have the exhaust - autobox rubber bungs and bolts as my box never even had the bracket let alone those bolts Wink
