Guys
My A442F auto gear box has 360K KM on it, is knackered and I'm replacing it.
There's quite a selection available both second hand and reconditioned
- ranging from =A3520 to =A31,500 (delivered). NASA Mars Rover Spec boxes
are available from Australia but out of my budget range.
I'm shying away from re-conditioned as I don't believe a garage can
replace all the bits to the equivalent standard of OEM.
So have narrowed it down to 2
Second Hand 1996 A442F box with 88K miles for =A3520 - delivered - 1
month warranty
Second Hand 1998 A442F box with 42K miles for =A3800 - delivered - 12
month warranty
Both of the boxes are out of UK registered vehicles. Mine is a JAP.
Does anyone have any experience of putting a UK A442F into a Jap motor?
Is it a straight swap?
Is there any gremlins waiting for me? ie. it ain't going to fit!
What about Transfer Box - Worth doing a deal on that while I'm at it?
Existing TB has 360K KM also.....
Any hard learned experience or comments welcomed.
Thanks

1995 HDJ81 - 360K KM on chassis and AT, 140 on engine, 40 on the rest of it
(bit like the yard brush my uncle had for 60 years - just had 10
handles and 15 heads replaced on it)
