JoKer Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 ? no one? have had this feedback from the Avenger Forum The Triumph one might have different bell housing mounts, different splines and a different length affecting your drive shaft, plus it's designed for a 6 cylinder motor. What happened to the Hunter one...it would be a straight swap onto your Avenger bell housing as the original 1500 Avenger auto probably used a Hunter BW35...a much stronger box than the BW45. still not deterring me much from completing trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 providing your driveshaft slips in the box you should be able to use the triumph unit providing the bellhousing can be swapped over, and torque converter bolts up to the flexplate on your engine you'll be away laughing.

Borgweiser Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Manual box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 thats not exactly an easy fix (aware another shushie/recon will be on par/moer for $$ comparison) are drive shafts the same length, I have part manual boxes here but no clutch/3rd pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Bolt a 5 speed Sierra on the back of the auto bellhousing like I did. Or sell your auto bellhousing on the Avenger forum, that will help fund the manual conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'd like a car I can drive "now"ish, those 17"s i sold seller says are cracked and unrepairable also I have $165 in my account and no sign of any wages going in in the next few weeks, mortgage might be fun maybe thats what credit cards are for?

Avenga Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 They are okay once you get used to them. I just brought some new hinges and door latches off them a couple of week ago. I can email them and ask if you like, they know me quite well down there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 oem BOX Sunbeam 35 and the triumph 35, last two share sme wrong bolt pattern, preventing me from swapping bells and tails/output still no bolt in solution room for slotting holes/mix and match, possibly need custom driveshaft (yet to physically measure with a ruler) unless someone has a better idea?

Beaver Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 go to horopito and get another avenger box/manual conversion. surely you have spent more time and money pissing about than just doing a manual swap in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronze Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 bw35 are a bag of dicks and I'd avoid them. I've had 2 shit the reverse gear in my XE falcon and ended up swapping in a bw40, with the only difference being the lines being in different locations.
