cheers people , i'm liking the sound off the auto box conversion but i don't want to alter my chassis , i need to do a bit more research me thinks !!! bye the way , it's a disco 200tdi thats fitted in it now , did it meself B) . i'm not new to landrovers but i'm new to offroading and loving it . totally amazed at what it will do , i reached my limit long before my motor did !! . the problem is one off the blokes we went with is a bit of a idiot and was putting me and my mate right off . suprised he did'nt kill someone !! anyway , any more advise would be welcome before i ring ashcroft and order a lt77 and be done with it .

hello everybody , i posted this question in the defender forum but i think i'm gonna try hear . question is i'm gonna have to change the gearbox on my 90 pretty soon ( lt77 ) , and i've been thinking about an auto box , problem is i don't know much about them and i need some advice . what i want to know is , is it a good idea ? and will i need to alter my chassis mounts as it's a new galvernised one and i don't want to cut it . also , how do they perform offroad ?. ie , will i still have engine braking ? i've just started offroading and i'm no expert . all advice welcome , gearbox and offroad . cheers ....

auto is better ehh ... did'nt know that ! sounds promising . exchange ashcroft was the planned route , was gonna contact them this week . but i'm thinking of going auto now . i think i need to check it out some more though . thanks for that ..

hello everybody , just re registered ( could'nt log in for some reason ) anyway heres the thing , over the last year or so i've been rebuilding my 90 with the intension of going offroading with a group off friends, but like always they all pulled out at various stages and i was left on my own and nobody to go with anyhoo , a few weeks ago i bumped into another friend of mine who i had'nt seen for years and he happens to be into landrovers aswell , so i tagged along with him and his gang and went with them . and oh my god i loved it , ( i need to stay away from the ......ermm.... cow waste ) but due to the fact i put a 200tdi in place of the 2.5 nad , and we have been flying up and down the motorway, my gearbox has decided it's not impressed with the extra power and is voicing it's opinion . so , i've got the 200tdi engine and a disco tranfer box with an lt77 in the middle and i was wondering , the box needs to come out anyway , so one of the options is to replace it with an auto box , but , not being an auto box expert i need to know a few things first . firstly is it a good idea or not ?, and secondly will it go in without chopping my chassis up ? cos it's a new one and it's galvernised , so i don't want to alter it . also , how do they perform offroad ? my main concern is engine braking !! cos one of the things i learned pretty quick was don't touch the brakes going down hill in mud GULP !! so if any of you offroading experts can give me some advice , gearbox or offroading , i would be very gratefull . also , i need some bomb proof undies aswell cos i've got new seats and i don't want to make a mess
