Auto box sump removal.

[frank rabbets]

I have a friend coming over to take the sump off his 12 valve 80. How much of a job is it with engine sump being 10/10?

I shall be advising with no physical input.

Thanks

Straight forward as I remember doing the throttle position wire.

Just undo the all the bolts and break the sealant and it should come of

What does this mean?

It means if the auto sump is say half the difficulty of the engine sump then it's a 5/10

I assume 3/10 then ? I assume there is no gasket and silicone sealer will be OK ?
Thanks

Hey Frank,
I'm about to do the same job on my 80. I watched a youtube that made it look easy. I got a transmission filter and gasket for approx. $120 NZD so probably about 65 pounds. The gasket is cork, so they recommended no silly cones required. I was trying to find the torque setting for the bolts when it's done. If anyone can help?

My 12v 80 had no sump gasket, just sealant & when I first had it off years ago I don’t think it had been off from factory.
Easy job

I am a 'belts and braces' kind of guy, check with the FSM, and then use RTV sealant anyway.
