Identifying Auto Gearbox Type

[SwissSteve]

Hi,

Was wondering if there is a really easy way to identify which type of auto gearbox is fitted either from the engine bay or by peering underneath or do I need to jack the car up and crawl under to have a look.

Have the pics from Rimmer catalogue but was wondering if there are easier tell tale signs.

Hi Steve,

I think the 35 auto has a splined shaft on the prop shaft at the gearbox end, whereas the 65 auto has a flange.

So the 65 auto prop shaft has a flange at both ends, and the 35 auto a flange at one end (diff end).

Hope this helps

The easiest way is to peer underneath and see if the prop has 4 bolts connecting it to the gearbox (BW65) or not (BW35 has a splined shaft so no bolts)

On another issue.

I see Robsport are offering new replacement gearbox for 350 pounds which sounds quite reasonable for what I need. I am a bit surprised that new Gearbox's actually still exist for the Stag, can that be.

I have never used RobSport before, anyone used them for this type of thing?

I have to get this exported to me so need to ensure I use the right people.

Anyone coming to Switzerland soon who can drop off a gearbox for me

Always worth asking you never know .....
