3.5Ltr Auto Gearbox numbers help

[jeff5b]

Hi

I need to have my gearbox rebuilt or get a an exchange unit.

I have been offered a gearbox with the following numbers on a plate or cast into the casing.

These two are stamped on a plate

Part No: 594236R

Serial: B11582

This is part of the casing

0465066906L

VF1

There is another number on the casing but other than 0465065... I can't read the rest, might be 800.

I have checked the numbers as best I can, but only found out that it is probably a four speed refurbished by Rover, (R at the end of the number and the plate says "Factory Rebuilt Unit).

Question is this a BW35 ?

Many Thanks

Jeff

The type 35 box is a 3 speed box. It is better to get your own box rebuilt as anything that you buy will be a risk.

Hi Jeff.

What you have there going by the numbers given is a BW65.
Sadly they were never fitted to the P5B.

I can help with your transmission either existing or exchange.
Will send a PM with my details.

You won't get better advice than Andy gives or one of his rebuilt boxes
