imspanners Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Would I be correct in thinking the pre-EDC 300TDi auto box is the same as the 200TDi ? I need a replacement gearbox for my '95 300TDi, and as I've got a dodgy hip, was considering fitting an auto. Besides flywheel, torque converter, oil cooler, gear change linkage and shifter knob is there anything else required? Anybody done it? or should I replace the R380 and stop whining like an ol' man?

BogMonster Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The box is probably the same on all 300Tdis - I don't think the EDC ones had an electronic auto? Talk to Dave Ashcroft about what you want to do, I did when I converted my old 1996 3.9 V8 from manual to auto and he was very patient and helpful in identifying and supplying all the bits required He is on here as "ashtrans" so may pop up shortly...

Andy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 i think you need a new center console as well to accomodate the different shape gearbox gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy, I was unaware of that, and Micro(cough)cat has just confirmed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 it was a half remembered memory from a similar convo years ago with a mate who works in a LR specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No All you need is a jigsaw and the correct mat from the auto vehicle to cover up the now slightly odd shaped hole Auto to manual would need a replacement console but manual to auto you can get away with it.
