Weight Rover 75 auto gearbox

kittenfan · 9th February 2022, 17:30

Can anyone tell me how much an automatic gearbox weights from a Rover 2,5 ltr?

I have bought one and need to arrange transport, however it is weight limited. Thanks for the information!

Only a guess but id say 40 - 50kgs with the torque converter.

Thanks, however I think it is a bit heavier, a couple of years ago I tried to move one and that was quite a challenge!

I must be stronger than I thought then

Typically I threw one away a few weeks ago or I would have weighed it.

These refer to Landrover, but there cant be a huge difference between the Landrover and MGR variants.

If anything, the Landrover box will be a tad lighter.

No need Jon - I have it on good authority (Terry from TS Autos) that the MGR autoboxes weigh in at 108kg.
