pilkie said:Have just had the replacement BW35 box delivered,complete with torque,flexi,dipstick,etc
My thanks to Brian-Northampton for picking up and transporting it!!
Its the 7FU 17221,which is the PRND21 type!!!
LUCKY!!
As I forgot to check that it wasnt the early PRND2D1L type first!
I can only hope that it all works ok when it comes to fitting it!
But the guy I got it from,has stated that it was all working fine before it was removed!!
I, or Brian,who sort of knows him, have no reason to not believe what he says is true!!!
Harvey!!!
The fault with my knackered,so called recon,BW65 box is the rear clutch/band drum is scored,and that lead to speedy wear of the rear band!
It lasted over the 12 months/12k miles warranty they gave me! JUST!!!
Would you be able to provide me with a replacement rear clutch/band drum,all ready to fit with piston seals all done?
Am just thinking ahead,about refurbing it,but I may do the 35 instead,as I am sure its just the rear band that needs doing on that!!

7FU is not necessarily going to be the PRND21 type, it should be, but after all this time they can get rebuilt with the wrong valve on the valve block. You won't know until you fit it, unless you look.
I have all the hard parts secondhand.
The rear band works on the outside of the geartrain, so if it's scored you need a new one.
I can install the seals into the drums providing a) I can get the seals seperately, or b) you buy a kit to do the box and send the seals with the drums, or c) you pay for a seal kit which I return to you after the required seals are used.
