Auto Conversion

(1/2) > >>

dazzawhipple:
I am selling my Landrover 90 and intend to join the Disco brigade ............I have a question

I would like a Auto but me being tight will go for a good manual one (200tdi) as i have a RR 3.5 Efi AUTO sitting on my drive can I put the auto box onto a 200 TDI Its a 4 speed ZF

Is it a simple conversion or it just cant be done

ChrisW:
It can be done, it's not simple but it's not mega unsimple and it won't work properly  :x

The V8 autobox will have different gear change settings compared to a diesel box, I understand it's the valves and stuff in the box that need changing - more grief than it's worth and probably cheaper in the long run just to get a 200Tdi autobox.

Unless you're going to put the V8 in as well  :twisted:

dazzawhipple:
theres a few reasons behind this

The kids and the boss dont like the 90 to 'rough and ready' ,sounds so nice with the V8

Used to have a 300tdi auto and I do favour the auto box but..................I only intend to run the car as a second motor so It will be manual unless I can get hold of a auto for the right money...........


Then the fun begins  Snorkel, Mud, Small lift Steering guards etc

muddyweb:
If it's just a second car, transplant the whole lot, V8 and autobox and sell the tdi engine and box.

You get some money to spend on fuel / toys and you get the Autobox and noise you want.


Everyone's a winner :-)

A plan with no drawbacks.  Put it on LPG and you'll be laughing at the pumps too :D

TDis command good money S/H so you'll be quids in hopefully.

Good luck 8)
