Hi all,
My car has a 35 which drains fluid - leaks - when stood which is fairly normal from previous posts.
But - only has to stand for a couple of days to do this - puddles and burning off exhaust.
I have bought a later good 65 box / torque convertor - no leaks.
Is swapping these over 'nuts and bolts' or works to linkages etc ?

You have to use the selector cable as used on the OE BW65 installation, and that requires a bracket to be fixed to the tunnel underside to hold the outer cable. Other than that it's all bolt in apart from the possibility of some minor wiring changes to the inhibitor switch.
Just make sure that the BW65 you've bought is definitely a P6B one, not SD1, or something else, as if that's the case things get more complicated.
