ZF Auto gearbox interchangability

(1/1)

petergalileo:
I have heard a rumor that a ZF auto fitted to a V8 is different to one fitted to a TDI, apparently they have different change up points ? Is that true ? and how do you tell the difference between them ?

Xtremeteam:
obvious thing would be one has a V8 upfront the other would be a oil burner,

V8 one would have the starter on the drivers side & the TDi on the pas side,

the boxes arent interchangeable as the valving is different to cope with the lower revs of the tdi

Range Rover Blues:
Yeap, having driven both, they both work well in their respective homes, though I was surprised to see the TDI rev to over 4K when I stamped on it.

That said the LSE pulls 5 and a bit :shock:

solihull-mick:
Not to say they have a totally different bellhousing bolt patten
