transfer box question

<< < (2/3) > >>

topless matt:
yeah its a straight swop mate.
Ive got to do it now the auto is in as the gearing is a little on the higs side with 35" tyres and a dfisco transfre box  :twisted:

sirloincloth:
I'm running a 300tdi manual on 265/75 R16. With the standard t/box and a car full of family and camping gear I could never quite find the right gear, which was a real PITA. As luck would have it I was out on a green lane day on Salisbury plain and my T/box broke, so the truck got treated to a Defender t/box. The result has been great, returning the truck to being useable again.

The speedo is spot on with the tyre and box combination, and the acceleration is pretty good too with a tweeked pump. The top speed is about the same, but then I avoid the M/Ways like the plague anyway.

Saffy:
hold on... isn't the ratio on a tranny mated to a auto box widely different to that of a manual ? you might have a big shock if it's not a 1:1.2 to 1:1.4 swap (standard disco to defender).

denzil:
Just for the record I have now changed my  3.9 v8  for a later model with the same sized engine (v8) in my last disco and fitted  the same sized  tyres 33s. This time I spoke to Aztec engineering and they supplied the gears to convert my existing transfer box to defender spec .

big tim:
Just put a defender 110td5 transfer box in my 1998 v8 auto disco it works a treat.
