Some of you may rember I posted about an omega auto that was juddering in the low gears
Well 60 quid later and 3.5 hours of work and the motor is back on the road
Bought a second hand box for 60 sheets and me and my mate fitted it yesterday
The original box was fucked oil level was ok but still drove like shit. Torque converter was the likley suspect
Quite straight forward swap and it drives like new now
Better than 800 sheets for a recon and god knows what vauxhall would have charged to swap the boxes

Hardest part was lining the new gearbox up
