Hey guys, so i'm picking up the 86 325 next weekend but the tranny has a gigantic leak (main seal i think). the guy I'm buying it from said that he has a getrag 260 off a '91 but i was told that the later 260s dont have a CPS port that is necessary on the 86.
So then my next idea was just to take the transmission out, have a shop replace the seals and throw it back in and use it like that.
Now i'm thinking, I can probably find a good running usable transmission to just swap in and trash the leaky old one or trade it for pudding cup or something. A replacement would be much cheaper than having a shop replace seals and I could do it all same-day. (If any of you guys have one that'd be sweet t*tties)
I dont have the time or funds at the moment for the manual swap, but when I do the motor swap, i'll do the manual conversion then.
Now heres the question. Does any model year ZF4 HP22 transmission fit the car?
Or is it the same issue as the manual box on the 86. Will i need an 86 auto tranny?
My reasoning is that if the CPS is at the flywheel, both the autos and manuals will need that port, that wouldnt be found in later year transmissions.
Thanks!
