Hi
looking for advice on 2 items re BW35 auto box in my series 1 P6 V8. The car sometimes clunks when changing up or down and the rear bush definitely needs replacing. There appear to be 2 different bush types available but the current one is in poor condition. Is there a way to tell which type it is before removal of the housing. I am planning to support the box in situ and just remove the housing for replacement of the bush but do not want to remove then wait for a replacement with everything supported in the back garden awaiting the new part delivery?
My local parts specialist here in UK would be JR Wadhams which have both listed but I don't really want to order both and then have the hassle of returning the incorrect one.
Any advice on carying out this switch would be gratefully appreciated.
Second issue relates to adjustment of the gear select. The car will usually only start in neutral and park does not fully engage (car can be pushed when in park) however with front end jacked up and park selected by additional rotartion of the selector startting is OK and park is correctly applied. Selection of reverse 1 and 2 are fine and work correctly. Choosing D is usually ok but occasionally remains in neutral. Occasionally firm or rapid movement into park will mean that park fully engages and engine will start in park. Can anyone advise where to start in terms of adjustment or troubleshooting the linkage?
Thanks
My P6 (George) is a bit of a mongrel with the previous owner having swopped out the block for that from a 3.9 Disco while retaining original head carbs and sump.
