JohnnoK Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Following on from the V8 R380 into a 90 thread....Is it feasible to make a P38 into manual transmission? I have a D2 flywheel, clutch, gearbox and T/Case, obviously I will need a clutch pedal and gubbins, release mechanism etc and the BeCM will need to be told it's a manual (assuming it's possible) and a right side front diff. Doable or walk away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 P38 R380's are different to others, the clutch slave fouls the V8 exhaust (ask me how I know) and the clutch release is concentric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnoK Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 OK, thanks for the tip. As this is a D2 box, it will probably end up with mostly D2 bits, so I will need to have a look-see at my set-up and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave88sw Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 You could have a 4.0 V8 with a factory manual, the 4.6 theoretically produced more torque than the R380 could handle. They're not common though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
