auto conversion 200 tdi
philbert:
:?: :?: due to i'll health i would like to fit an autobox to my 200 tdi 90.
anyone done this? i would like to know what is required.
Jim-Willy:
Mines a 300tdi auto, the guy who converted it used a ZF4 speed auto out of a Disco. I believe the transmission tunnel may need alteration on a 200tdi. The box does suit the engine though, can't fault it.

Ive got an auto box on my 300 disco and 300 defender /RR hybrid
AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
You'll need a tdi auto box (both 300 and 200 are the same) BUT the bad news is they are quite rare
I got mine off ebay with the engine
Its a dead easy conversion, bolts straight on and Im pretty sure the mouns for the gear box are the same.
The V8 autos wont work, they are valved wrong.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a an auto box anyway
landyman Ash:
Oh and Ive used a 300tdi defnder tunnel, fits a treat and cost me £5 off ebay :wink:
philbert:
good to know the box fits with the 300 tunnel that answers one of my questions.
second question will the 300 tdi autobox fit a 200tdi without any mods or are they different as the lt77 and r380 are and is there a way round this.
thats really 2 questions isnt it!
i know the v8 box wont fit the output shaft is different which is a pity as my mate has a few lying around.
more help required please
