Calling all P5 people...
I have been tasked to light overhaul and assemble a P5 6 pot engine and reunite it with it's gearbox and fit both to the original car....
Now, having only ever seen a P5 at a distance, I am a bit short on information, so I am asking for the collective's help please.
I need an engine manual in .pdf, or at least, the salient bits scanned, like torques and any specific "tricks" that can trap me which are in the knowledge database.
Then, I managed to convince the owner to have the gearbox checked out for safety's sake as it's been in storage for ages, so I need to know the make and model, please. It's an auto, so I am going to assume Borg Warner, but not going to assume any further for fear of exposing the full depth of my lack of ken of this lovely vehicle.
Harvey, is there anything specific to look at in a box that has stood for such a long time, beyond internal corrosion on steel bits and bands/clutches falling apart? I don't know if it has/had oil in during this time..
Thanks in advance!
