1- INTRODUCTION
We are pleased that you have chosen a GPA used part. The quality of our product and the quality of the assembly determine the degree of customer satisfaction. Please take a moment to read the general instructions supplied with our products. This may save you valuable time later on.
2- GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Make sure that the product delivered is the correct model. If you check it before you start installing it, you could save yourself a lot of trouble later on.
Note: a box may be delivered with peripheral components left free of charge (tachometer, stopper, electronic calculator, solenoid control valve, etc.), so they are not guaranteed. The warranty applies to the bare box.
WARNING: To avoid damage to the remanufactured gearbox, it is important to rectify any problems that have occurred on the defective gearbox, if the cause is external, before reassembling the new gearbox and installing the new parts required for proper assembly.
It is advisable to clean the engine compartment after removing the old box. Your customer will appreciate it, and fitting the new one will be easier and more pleasant.
PLUGS
Most of the openings in the box are fitted with a plug. These should be removed as the box is fitted.

4- CLUTCH
CLUTCH KIT
It is preferable to fit a new clutch kit when replacing the gearbox, as this will avoid the need to dismantle the clutch at a later date. It is economically preferable to change the clutch in order to limit labour costs.
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING UP
Before starting the engine and after installing the gearbox, check :
- the oil level is correct
- nuts and bolts are correctly tightened using a torque spanner
