HI Guys, Am in the middle of my gearbox swap from BW35 to SD1 lT77 manual 5spd on my 72P6 V8, its 2600 police spec with V8 bell housing from a mid 80's SD1.
Is it a relatively easy task to do ? I'm not scared just want to know if once I remove the casings to do the front/rear seals, will a load if cogs fall out the box ?
Sorry to ask a dumb question like that, is the oil pump at the rear or front? will be replacing the gaskets too, I'm quite confident in doing the work, just useful to have some pre-operation info LOL.
One last thing, the front input shaft has a very tiny bit of play, is this normal, the box has about 55k miles on it, also this has been asked 1000 times but what is the recommended oil to use, the car will cover no more than 3k miles per year, if that really, thanks very much Damian
