Probably, but I would be using an unknown gearbox, and would have to put the car through a compliance process. At least I know I have a transmission that should last another 50 years.

1975 P6b Transmission issue?
- Thread starter Duane
- Start date
So another question for the all knowing Harvey I think.
I have got the transmission back in the car, refilled with fluid, and I took it for a run around the block. At least I have drive now which is an improvement. It seems to shift through the gears but the car stalls when you come to a standstill under braking. It fires back up again and idles when put in back into drive.
Could this be related to the kickdown cable that I am not convinced I have set correctly yet?

Bit more investigating today and I think I have worked out the kickdown cable. It would appear that the BW65 cables don't have a crimped ferrule that is always referred to. At least, I have two cables and neither of them have ferrules. I have ended up holding the throttle pedal wide open, and then adjusting the kickdown cable to be just past the valve opening point. I hope that is about right - haven't road tested yet though.
I did have another thought re the engine dying when I come to a stop. I did a compression test on the engine and the results weren't good despite the car idling perfectly, and no hint of smoke.

I guess the heads will be coming off next. Would this affect how the trans operates at low speeds?
Automatics are a mystery to me. I have always had manuals.
This car is fighting me all the way. But I will win!
