    Ok I was hoping that some one figure out which exactly boxes are affected by now.
    No @Davezj I didn't drain box yet, must mot it before put £200 oil in it. It seems like some one mess about passenger side of box area as plastic cover is missing, need to look closely if there is more evidence of it being open b4, not really fancy taking it apart just to find out its all good there.

    i took the side off my old gear box to reseal the end plate from my black VR4 due to a slight oil leak.

    it takes you straight into the planetry gear sets, the case of the 1,2,3, gear came out with the end plate along with some of the clutches and plates on my auto box, but i removed all the rest of the clutches and plates cleaned and refitted and align them all and fitted the gear casing back on. then i clean the mating surfaces of the auto box of old sealant and apply some RTV sealant and bolted it back up.

    i mention this because this was the gear box i sold to ben at eurospec to fit into someones car. that car is now in the possession of a local friend and the gear box is still in great working condition. so you can remove the parts and put it back together and have it work just fine, and that was 6 -7 years ago.

    so all was good.
    so getting to the wave spring is not going to be that much more work.

    Bye for Now!

    yes that is what i did.
    but since then i did buy a set of o-rings for the auto box, just i case i had to do it again. not sure where they are now but i have them somewhere.
    you just have to remember to get the surroundings e.g. auto box case, wheel arch and anything else that can drop dirt around the gear box really really clean, before you crack open the gear box particularly when the gear box is still on the car.

    IIRC it's a different story - back before the 8G came along Mitsi made the autoboxes with stronger wave springs, then early 8Gs saw weaker springs for "smoother shifting" and some time later in PFL times the stronger springs came back when it turned out the weak springs made spectacular box failures.
    The more you know, the faster you can go. And I still don't know enough.

    Some useful information and videos.

    If you get it wrong, the car will drive fine in reverse, but will barely drive in the forward direction. You will burn up the OWC. Ask me how I know.

    An EXTREMELY detailed F5A51 manual:

    Above file is unfortunately too large to place permamently on the forums. Link will probably go dead in the future.

    The F5A51 box is quite popular and shares probably 90% of its internals with our W5A51 box. Main difference is the output shafts.

    F5A51 equipped vehicles:

    HYUNDAI:

    EQUUS 2000 - 2008 (V6 3.0L 3.5L) - FWD
    GRANDEUR XG 2000 - 2005 (V6 2.5L 3.0L 3.5L) - FWD
    SANTA FE 2000 - 2006 (V6 3.5L) - F/4X4
    SONATA 2006 - ON (V6 3.3L) - FWD
    XG 2001 - 2005 (V6 3.0L 3.5L) - FWD
    GRANDEUR XG 2000 - ON (V6 2.5L 3.0L 3.5L) - FWD
    XG300 1999 - 2001 (V6 3.0L) - FWD
    XG350 2002 - 2005 (V6 3.5L) - FWD

    KIA:

    AMANTI 2004 - 2005 (V6 3.5L) - FWD
    CARNIVAL 2000 - 2005 (V6 3.5L) - FWD
    GRAND CARNIVAL 2004 - 2010 (V6 3.5L) - FWD
    OPIRUS 2003 - 2005 (V6 2.7L 3.0L 3.5L) - FWD
    SEDONA 2002 - 2005 (V6 3.5L) - FWD

    MITSUBISHI:

    DIAMANTE 2000 - 2001 (V6 2.5L)
