box problem
« on: October 24, 2007, 18:25:30 »
Been an had a quick look at rangie as only picked it up in the dark last night and had a drive up the road.

When i put it into first gear and drive it is very jurky and lunges forwards more than drives, as if i was a learner driver with kangaroo fuel lol
also seems to be clunky underneath but cant see properly till weekend with my m8 underneath.

Anybody have any ideas what it could be or to look for and also anyone got a spare manual box for sale in case needed??

after speaking to a couple of guys where i live which is hereford they suggested i went for an auto box coversion anyway as they have all done it and said its better all round.

Would this be a better solution anyway??

Any boxes converters etc for sale????

Your best bet there is to buy a scrapper with a blown engine or MOT fail, hope to sell the bits you don't want then weigh it in.

You'll always find another bit you havn't got otherwise.

The pedal box bolts in
the tunnel top is riveted in, the gearshift bolts to it on an auto
there's a chunk of wiring loom you need to change
there's a resistor in the EFi wiring you need
the engines are the same but you need the torque converter adapter and driveplate
the oil cooler(s) for the auto box

etc etc.

That said I'm going Auto myself and yes, my spares dept is on bricks behind my house :lol:

or a S/H gearbox is worth, well whatever someone will take for it........
