ZF Automatic Gearbox
Yoshi:
nah, cos the series is worth a little more than the £200! lol, i do have a backup, as i am trying to sell me pc as well, but a mate of mine in wales says if i can get the motor to him next weekend he will do the gearbox change in return for the pc.
thank god for the AA lol
Yoshi:
Well i have managed to get the £200 together now so am just waiting on a couple of local garages to let me know when they can fit her in!
big rob:
changed mine last year, so here goes.
If you have a 2" lift you can change the gear box without jacking the car,thats how i done mine. disconnect battery,disconnect prop shafts, release handbrake cable and speedo cable( small clip held by one bolt) disconnect kickdown cable,remove gearbox crossmember,remove half moon cover in front of flywheel remove toque converter bolts (4 off) disconnect gear shifter remove bellhousing bolts (need to tilt box to get to top one's) disconnect inhibitor switch,disconnect oil cooler pipes, before removing last two bellhousing bolts (at 3 and 9 oclock) support gearbox and transfer box with large trolley jack and the gearbox comes out. becareful it's b----y heavy make sure torque converter stays in place when gearbox is pulled backwards or you'll be drowned in oil, then have a rest, some tea and some oxygen. putting it back is the reverse if the gearbox needs the torgue converter fitting on the new box make sure you stand the gearbox vertical and place the torgue converter in and lower it turn it slowly clockwise and it will drop down it needs to drop twice or you could break the pump in the gearbox. top up and check the oil and thats all there is too it said brucey
A handy tip is to buy some red or green electrical tape and when you undo something put some tape around the bolt or union and only when it has been retightened removethat bit of tape.
hope this helps Rob
Yoshi:
