Does anyone have a gbox removed so they can take a picture of the F125 switch so i know where it is and can identify it.

thanks
Julian

You'll have no trouble identifying it, it's about 3" or 4" across and has and oddly-shaped black plastic cover.
Here's a picture of one off the car:

thank you

Do you think that a gearbox rebuilder like Chester transmissions etc would put a new one on as part of the rebuild cost or do you think or would that be deemed an ancillary?

Many thanks
Julian

I would have thought the rebuild would be just the internals.

When unit 20 / Chester did mine the switch was not changed.

How has your box and converter been/behaved since you got a rebuilt box from chester and how long ago/many miles since. Hope you dont mind me asking but interested in your views i.e a real life review of qulaity/longevity ta

They did mine back end of 2014. Has about 16K on it now. All good.

Think mine was roughly about the same but i had an Edge racing / ACE torque converter fitted as a precaution (stage 2 map). Box has been fine but did have an F125 switch a couple of years ago and now I get the occasional inverted PRNDS display. I have got a spare TCU to try when I get time and if that doesn't fix it I will change the wiring in the box.
