I am looking to do gearbox swap between 2 of my Patrols.
I have a 98 Manual 4.5 petrol GU & a 2003 Auto 4.2 Tdi GU (ex 3.0 Hand-grenade)
I would very much like to Swap out the boxes between these vehicles - So put the manual box (from the Petrol) into the Diesel & the Auto box (from the Diesel) into the petrol.
Converting the Diesel to manual shouldn't be too crazy, but I am a little concerned about fitting the auto to the 4.5 Petrol... Does any one have any experience getting the 4.5 to "talk to the auto"?
Any advice would be very welcome
Regards
JP

No.
But i do have a little bit of experience of that auto on a 4.5, and to my mind it's not a good match.
That engine wants to rev, and the gearbox has been programmed not to...

Re: Gearbox Swap Advice please...
The real goal here is to change the diesel to manual.
The 4.5 is being converted into a gameviewer as we speak, so performance wont be top of its list & an auto gameviewer may be smoother & more comfortable.
Trying to kill two birds here, but in reality the bias goes to the diesel...
