RR Classic automatic to manual gearbox conversion, with Chevy engine

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
It might be worth checking WHICH ZF box is in there and if it had any upgrades.  The Ashcroft transmission website has details of the hp22 and 24 boxes plus what upgrades can be made to the 22 using bits form the 24.

The 4.6 P38 had the 24 as it's a stronger box.  Having damaged mine (it looks like) I'd advise you make sure the auto is in tip-tiop condition too.  I'd agree though that auto is the way to keep it, the manual box's aren't really up to the job and even a humble 3.9 can smoke a clutch quite quickly.

Range Rover Ron:
My mate fitted a Chevvy to his Dico and eventually took it out as it was destroying gearboxes and diffs.

Range Rover Blues:
Yes a manual box would probably be more severe to the transmission and axles too.
