Side Plate On Auto Box

[CM2007]

Hi all, I wondered if anyone has got an exploded diagram of the auto box on a mk1 V6? I am looking to replace the side plate which has badly corroded and want to see how easy (or not) it is to get to and possibly what I'll need at the same time.

 

Many thanks

Hi Mike

 

Here's a pic from the TIS. If you haven't got one, search for ford tis on eBay.

 

If its the front plate with about 12 bolts as shown in the pic, you may be able to get better access by removing exhaust etc and lowering the gearbox end. If its similar to the manual box, the mounting is a tight squeeze in the frame until lowered about 6 inches and then the back of the box has to be manueovred around the subframe.

Cheers jimjamjo, I managed to get a picture from fords. I got them to fax me a copy of their parts pictures to my work. I have identified which bits I need.

 

Thanks

Mike
