Auto box into a 90
Dangermouse:
Anybody done it , is much modifacation involved, what box is beast for a 90 :?:
Jim-Willy:
I've got a TDI auto 90, the box is a ZF 4speed out of a Disco, it needed no modding but i have a 300tdi which is the r380 transmission tunnel, if yours is earlier then you will need to modify the tunnel. The shifter comes out of the center seat box and that is coverd with an Ali sheet and then carpet, very neat (Turn the old gearlever gaitor inside out and it is a bottle holder). The work was done By Martin Dransfield in Dewsbury (Landrover Enthusiast bod). I saw a TD that had been converted to a V8 auto and that had the tunnel and bulkhead modified (with a lump hammer i think, it looked awful)
muddyweb:
Yep.. I've done it.
The ZF box is your best bet IMHO.. and there are plenty about usually.
What engine do you have ?
Dangermouse:
It's a 86 90 with the origenal naturaly asmatic diesel engine :roll:
if i can stretch the money that will change as well.

You need to, a NAD will struggle like hell to pull you with an auto on it. Uncles NAD struggled to pull its self with a manual.
