Hi there.
I'm a 1995 R19 1.8i with a knackered four speed automatic gearbox. I've been quietly resting on my owners driveway for a couple of years now, but apparently the time has come to shape up or ship out.
My owner might be persuaded to keep me if he can find either a cheap source for a replacement auto box, or a manual with all the bits for a conversion. He's quite happy to use a 'spares or repairs' car from ebay or similar, but needs to know which R19 variants would make suitable donor. He is aware that he will need to replace my driveshafts, as these are unique to my current gearbox.
Please help save me from the big cark park in the sky! |

Thank for the offer. Trouble is I'm in London. I suspect Glasgow is a bit too far.
I guess you've done this before. Apart from the obvious 'box, linkage, stick, interior trim... I already know the drive shafts are specific to the auto, so the need to be changed. Want I don't know is where it ends. Is it just the shafts, or are the front axle/hub/bearings involved?
How much would you want for such a package, if thats OK? |

you need
shafts,
gearbox,
if you want to use the existing engine a flywheel to fit it,
pedal box,
clutch cable,
clutch,
gear link rod,
gearlever,
gearlever surround trim,
coolant hoses or modify the exisitng ones to the auto cooler
Hubs etc are all the same
london is a bit of a trek.
is it a 16V or an 8v? |

Phew
That's quite a list. I has completely failed to consider the clutch! I supposed that would mean using another 8v 1.8 as a donor.
I had hoped to keep the engine, as it's pretty low milage (under 60K i think). I'm beginning to think it may be more trouble than it's worth.
Like I said, it's an 8 valve engine. |
