Replace BW55 with BW35 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter May on  Thu Oct 3 20:47 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My BW55 transmission is starting to slip and has clogged the filter twice bad enough to restrict trans fluid to the torque converter.

I have another complete car with a BW35 in it in good condition, my transmission specialist reckons although it's older the BW35 is a more solid transmission, and was used in a number of 6 cylinder Australian cars like the Valiant Charger and the Ford Falcon, so parts are easier to get as well.

Has anyone else done this swap? It seems that I will have to swap over qute a bit from the other car.
