Any idea if a Dolomite automatic gearbox will fit in the boot of a Dolomite automatic?
Asking for a friend.... honest.

Cheers, Sam

It will with a bit of fettling and cutting, also relocation of the fuel tank and you may have problems with having the output shaft reaching the engine as well as the linkages.

On a serious note no they won't, take the seat base out and chuck it on the floor in back.

How about ...
Remove spare wheel put in a bin-bag and put in front passenger foot well.
Ditto the Boot board and carpet behind the driver's seat .
The bell housing end of the auto-box then goes in the boot in the spare wheel well on a foam buffer and the back end goes across the fuel tank also on a foam buffer.

Dimensions of a BW 'box are 66 cm long, 42 cm across the bellhousing and 36 cm high (but the dipstick extends the height to 53 cm.

Thanks guys... my "friend" might just use the big modern to collect it instead!
