....well, annoyling my gearbox requires replacing as it occasionally slips in 4th, throws a fault code up
Having spoken to a couple of places it's cheaper to replace then rebuild.

My new box arrived today, booked in at my mates to swap it hopefully next week....but, I have a few questions :

Once swapped, will it need coding ?
Will it need calibrating ?
Is the gearbox ECU inside the box or mounted on my car somewhere ? (I ask as I have the latest software currently)


In an ideal world where something could actually go easily for me I'd like to be told its a straight out and in swap......but I have a sneaky suspicion that this won't be the case here haha


Thanks in advance

I've got a good few questions for you ! As this is a very relevant topic to me!

Where did you get your box from ?

Did you manage to get it in ok ? Reason I ask is there are 5 different boxes for the 35d . I see that there maybe some major issues with some types especially the early cars as they had a different management system protocol to later cars. K-Line vs CANBUS

What year is your car ?
What's the part number of the box that came out ?
What's the part number of the box going in?

All this info will help to paint a picture .. cheers
