Hi All, I'm hoping someone can solve a problem I'm having with fitting my new radiator..... I actually sent my rad off for exchange for a reconditioned item in July 2017, but have only recently reached the point where I'm ready to fit it, and it seems too wide. I measured it at 660mm across on...

Hi All, I'm fitting new sector arm seals to the power steering box, on my 1972 3500 auto. I've read in the manual about using a seal saver or even masking tape over the drop arm splines to protect the seals as the sector shaft is refitted, but my attempts so far have been unsuccessful. Having no...

I managed to mangle the cotter pin that holds the coupling to the input shaft on my P6 power steering box, and now I'm having a difficult time finding a replacement. All I find online are split pins (USA call them cotter pins it seems) or cotter pins for bicycle pedal cranks. Does anyone know of...

Hi All, I wonder if anyone can help this question? When I took the sump off my auto box, the downshift cam was oriented as seen in this photo. The manual states that the straight line portion of the cam should contact the cylindrical body of the downshift valve, but the only way I can get that...

Hi All, another auto box question..... The Separating Plate between the upper and lower Valve Bodies on my transmission has a peculiar worn area, seen in the photo. This lies above a passage where the throttle valve stop plate is fitted. I'm assuming that over the last 48 years the stop plate...

Hi All Probably an old chestnut, but does anyone know where I can get a rear clutch piston seal installer for the Borg Warner Type 35 automatic? I got the front clutch piston in with no trouble, but the rear is a different story, despite the lead-in chamfer at the top of the bore. The piston...

Hi All I've had a workshop accident...... On starting to dismantle the front and rear clutch assembly, I held on to the rear clutch outer drum, and turned the assembly vertical. Straight away the forward sun gear and shaft fell right out to the floor. About a second later, I heard another part...

Hi, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere on the forum but.... I'm dismantling the Borg Warner Type 35 from my 1972 P6 V8, and have run into a problem removing the five oil pipes that run inside the gearbox, you know, from the valve block to servos and the connection to the oil cooler...

Apologies if I am revisiting and old subject....... the choke on my 1972 P6 V8 auto seems ridiculously hard to pull out. it has been like that since I bought the car in 1992, and despite many attempts at lubrication and adjustment, it has never improved. I wondered if anyone knew a solution -...

Hi All I wondered if anyone knew how the transmission cooler in the radiator header tank is constructed? I have two types, the first, in the radiator I have been using for the last 16 years, appears to be a closed tube running almost the full height of the header tank, see boreoscope pic below...
