Hi. Looking for auto gearbox with tcu for my legnum 97. Any offers welcome.
I'm on Manchester so please send offers not to far away.

Do you know which gearbox model it is you are after? I think there were 3?

I have my old autobox sat in my garage, my TCU is still in my car, but if I can have your old one in return I'd be happy to swap (I keep it in so I don't lose ESC).
I converted to manual about 18 months ago and its been in the garage since but worked fine when in my car.

When are you wanting one by? I'm not close but have friends down past Manchester so could potentially drop off at some point.

Hi. My old autobox its WA5A51 3E6B.
Do you think your autobox will work with my ECU (TCU)?
What is the price for autobox? and where you live?

I'll confirm the model on mine later today.

If its the same model then probably, but I'm happy to give you my TCU a swell if I can have yours in return.

I'm just outside Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

Hi. I'll happy to replace the tcu box. Just tell me the price for autobox?

Sorry I forgot to get the model off the box! I'll do it when I get home tonight.

How does £250 + shipping / travel costs sound?

The price sounds fine, but do you give any warranty?

The price sounds fine, but do you give any warranty?

If it doesn't work I'll give you a refund, or if it breaks in a short period of time same thing, but its a 20 year old box and I'm just a guy so I can't offer any official "warranty" as such.
When it came out it was working fine (November 2016), no errors. After pulling the battery it would jolt a little 2nd to 3rd, then it learns the shift after a few changes and becomes smooth. Pretty normal for an old box, may even be resolved with new fluid.

If I had misgivings about selling it it I wouldn't offer it and would have scrapped it.

Where abouts on the box did you find that code? I can only find the mitsubishi one.

In my one was between the Oil filter and Input Speed Sensor, near steel pipe. But i did not see Oil filter in yours box ��

Hmm, maybe mine is a different type than yours then.

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can confirm?

I found the codes they were coated in the dried oil from my engine!
W5A51 3E6A
UF5437

This is a different part number so not sure if interchangeable...

If your box does not have OWC then it won't be compatible

Hi Piers1989.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I do not want to risk that something may not work with your gearbox and I will continue to look for it. Anyway thanks for help And I hope I find the right one.
