    Perhaps you need to adjust your kickdown cable then :)

    We have bought a P38 with the six cylinder bmw diesel and the HP24 gearbox in it. We feel it revs way too much in top gear and we wondered if the torque converter is old and weak?

    We were both plant fitters and I have to say it feels like a really high-stall unit. It actually revs more than the HP22 behind my 3.5 RV8. So we figure it’s either worn or it’s bad inside (maybe bent).

    any thoughts, or are we way off the mark?     I mean, it’s 26 years old, so it is entitled to have a bad torque converter :)

    The diesel should have the 4HP22 not 4HP24 :mellow:

     

  2. ..and some info that might be of use to Diesel P38 Auto owners.

    Dont rely 100% on this info, but the D P38 Auto uses a different propshaft to all the other models in the P38 range.

    For the  D Auto TVB000130

    Dimensions:
    9cm x 9cm x 82cm

     

    FTC4140 for the rest

    Dimensions:
    10cm x 11cm x 79cm

     

    Seems the Auto is 3cm longer than the rest.

  3. I've got a local lr bloke saying everything but that. I don't think I can rely on him tbh. 

     

    I've described the symptoms and problems but says likely gearbox windup. That would not cause a untouchable pinion and flange due to heat.

    I get a vibration and humming with front shaft attached but none with it off. 

    It seems to get hotter too with Prop attached. Extra pressure on the bearings? 

    I still think it's probably the pinion bearing. 

     

    Any thoughts?
