[vitamin c avenger]

Hi would anybody have an auto transmission mount and cross member they would  want to sell or even a picture of what one looks like. Cheers

I can get a pic, but none for sale though sorry

have been offered a BW65 (never heard of them before)

Avengers came with BW35 : 3 speed early pre 76

and BW45 speed

and yes different bolt pattern / mount to Marina and Triumph BW35/45 (I've tried and tested the options when I was looking

give Irish Dave a buzz he 'might' know of some in the area OR might be time to go manual? (agree much smpler to stay auto if you can)

Hey, did you use a ford sierra spigot bearing?

(i'vr only got e dribs and drabs of info posted on this forum ove the past 10 years)

You use an Avenger clutch, release bearing, fork and cable...will need to make a gearbox spacer, fit a pivot, cut a slot for the fork and make a cable retainer if you're using an auto bell housing.

no used a bronze bush which is a bit harder on the gearbox vibration wise,but its a rally car.there used to be a bush available years ago with the right ID/OD for the avenger crank and sierra input shaft.From memory i thought it was a vauxhall carlton which was never sold here,so something holden might work you would need a catalouge or something to search through with the sizes on it.
i think the sierra one is a little small to fit into avenger crank or big cant remember which.
