Pete Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 If the box is out can’t you have a look around it for the stamped code on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Others will fit but the letter code should be stamped on it somewhere so you can see if it is the original box or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grah71 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks so as long as its a 085 box it will fit , the difference in codes ETB -FFR is just ratios ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXMarko Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just dipping in on this post! How did you get on with the gearbox Grah71? i have the same issue with mine, AUB engine with ETB box. options I have seen are 1. remove gearbox and send for refurb for £530! Or, 2. find an alternative box!! interested to know what other gearboxes fit onto an AUB... (apologies if this is posted elsewhere on the forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have a 2nd hand box that should be ok for a 75bhp unit, I sold the car before I got round to fitting it , pm me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
