Got new box ready for the swap but what else do i need to change while its off.

It'll be easier to change the T box oil while it's off, and check pop shafts and UJ's.

its worth changing filter ,and if oil residue is blackish dont fit it until youve checked first 2 clutch packs

haigy · Oct 7, 2013

Are the clutch packs in the gear box itself or qre they beuind the torque convertor

jamesmartin · Oct 7, 2013

clutch packs are in the box itself ,clutch pack A and B the 2 that are mosty likely to be burned are directly behind pump housing which is directly behind bell housing, they are the only 2 clutch packs you can reach without removing valve block and gallery seals,

And the 2 you can reach are the likely suspects to be burnt i hope.how much are the clutch pack for auto off the top of ur head james

you could give me a ring and i can tell you how ,but oil wll be blackish ,clutch pack A is usual failing it can be reached by removing bell housing and then pump housing ,box is best stood with bell housing upright

That's cool have I got to remove the gear box to do the clutch pack and yes my oil has gone blackish since it gave up pulse it didn't give me much warning as I was fine then felt like it was jumping out of gear then had no drive at all
