Someone wanted an autobox?

[JohnD]

Over on the TSSC Facebook page, there was a post from someone who wanted an automatic gearbox, as their partner was happier with one of those thatn a floor stirrer.

I have a Borg Warner 35 from a Triumph six-cylinder, complete with the bell housing, torque converter and flywheel, all cable and connectors.    Please see: http://ebay.us/NqBurl?cmpnId=5338273189

I know Andy Flexney was looking for a BW35 for a friend in Germany a couple of months ago.

Mathew,

Yes I did!    I got mush advice, from 'hit it harder', to 'weld a pull hammer onto it'.      But the best advice (thank you, Nick Jones!) was to look inside the  hole in the flywheel hub, that takes the spigot of the Torque converter, that is about half an inch in diameter.    There is another bore at the base of that hole, threaded to take a 5/16 bolt, that screwed in will push off the flywheel from the crank shaft.      BUT, tha hole so deep that a 3" bolt with 2" of thread is needed!   Well lubricated, I used copperease on the jacking bolt, the fly wheel came off easily.

It's not what you know, it's the way you hand it out.  I owe Nick a drink!

PS Andy Flexney?    He's not on here under that name.    Please point him to this thread? J.

If its Andy Flexney that wants an Autobox, the question wasn't asked here on the Forum.

Although Andy is a member of the Forum, he hasn't posted anything.

Is it possible that he posted the request on one of the other Triumph fora ?
