Title: Hi all! First post and in need of help!
Post by clight on Jul 31^st, 2006, 3:46pm

I have just aquired a free scorpio estate with a knackerd gearbox, it seems a waste to scrap it, and I know they are very comfortable cars to drive, as a friend of mine has one and swears by it. So, the first problem is that no local car breakers have one in stock. Though am starting to find a few leads on ebay.
So my first question is, could any other gearbox, say from the 2.3 sorpio fit on to my 2.0 16 valve?
And would there be any difference with a salloon and estate gearbox (though I think that is a silly question!)

Thats it for now, thanks in advance !

Chris

Welcome Chris,

Maybe a silly question but is yours an auto or a manual?

Its a manual, oops should have said. Although I prefer an auto, but that will be to much hassle to change over me thinks.
