AR35 from 3.2 into 2.5
06. May 2011 at 20:34
 
A member who has a 2.5 with a knacked autobox is interested in the AR35 from my 3.2.
He was under the impression that he needed a box from a 3.0 rather than a 3.2. My impression is that they are identical ?
Any other info he needs to know to do the swap ? Afaik its just a straight swap. Undecided

Thanks Cap,n. Any mods required, or just bolt straight on ?
Does the 2.5 torque converter have to be used, or the 3.2

I have made a start on removing the box from the 3.2, but I have thought of something which might present a problem.
The engine is seized, so I wont be able to turn the crank to undo the torque convertor bolts. Will the box just pull away from the convertor anyway ?
