Other than the actual gearbox itself, what else would need changing to go from manual to auto ? its a disco 1 3.5 V8 on carbs by the way.
I am assuming the rad would need changing to one with an oil cooler too ?
And anyone know who sells the shaft to cure the transfer box clunk on the disco 1 ?
-
The gearbox oil cooler i've seen are actully a seperate unit in front of the main rad unit, this is on a 300tdi unit
-
oh well thats good then, I thought I might have had to get a different radiator.
-
fitz had an auto box set up from a rangie in the for sale section he would know all the bits etc you would need
-
Have pm'ed him.
I already have a used borg warner transfer box available and a gearbox from a 1994 rangie LSE so hopefully they will fit.
I am definately doing it though, I drove an N reg ES that was auto a few days ago and it really is the nuts !

i,ll be interested in how you get on as it is something i would like to do to mine if i keep it
-
Will let you know, I have a bit of body repair to do at the back first so will do it in the spring I think when its a bit warmer.
Its definately being done though, That ES was a 300TDi which has less power than my V8 and it drove like a dream, I was expecting it to be a bit clunky on gear changes but I didnt even feel it change gear.

By the way, If you need a gearbox this guy has about 6 of them !
