Gearbox swap.

Post by Theantony »

Think I’m finally going swap my gear box from the 82 euro 3 speed auto to a non switchable 84 euro 4 speed auto. The 4 speed is in my donor so I have everything I’d need to convert.

But beyond the box and prop shaft what else would I need to take off. And if anyone has done this any advice or pics would be great.

Cheers
Antony

The TCU (transmission computer) that goes with the newer unit. They aren't cross-compatible from what I've heard and seen.
