Ive pulled my BW35 out as it has lost reverse gear and was slipping in top when cold.
50years of faithful service -120,000km[gen]
Ive found old school mechanic in my neck of the woods to work some magic and he has suggested I replace the bands with new Kevlar ones.
He recently did a P6b auto with these "new age Kevlar" parts for a client who was entering a major international classic car rally here in NZ.
The P6 went extremely well ,thrashed and bashed its way to the finish. The "new' bw35 was flawless under that duress.
Im quietly confident in his approach as he has 50 plus years of gearbox knowledge to draw on, having had a reconditioning business.
A "HarveyP6" from the antipodes.
As Ive never heard of this upgrade before, have I struck gold or am I being sold a unicorn?
"HarveyP6" I am hanging off your opinion !!
