Matt B Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Right last question re: this... I have sourced a well priced replacement box but it is from a manual classic rather than an auto - is there any difference? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisV8 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Before you part with the hard earned just check that the viscous is not seized, take two big bars with you, jam one across the prop bolts on one end and try and turn the other end with t'other bar, you should be able to move it with some difficulty. If it won't move it's seized if it moves easily it's knackered ! Why do I say this ? Have bought two untried one was alright t'other seized well. Ashcrofts want £250.00 for a new viscous unit alone ! You live and learn ! Might add the two boxes were a bargain anyway so not too fussed that one needs parts ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'll bear that in mind! http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/part_9.html I had a look there but wasn't sure what it meant... that there are two for the rrc one for the 3.5 and one for the 3.9 or that there are two one for the auto and one for the manual?

Classic: One for the 3.5, the other for the 3.9, difference being the temp gauge. 38a: One for manual, one for auto.
