white90 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 will a 230 Tbox fit a ZF auto which has originaly had a borg/warner type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 not sure if it is a straight fit but if all that is required is a different output shaft then that is easy to change as you just whip a bolt out of the middle and pop the shaft off the end of the autobox, it is a short "stub" shaft no idea about the bolts between one and t'other though - but it must be possible even if you need a few bits going auto next are we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some part or other that nice Mr Ashcroft supplied - but I may not be remembering right. One way or another, the most difficult bit was coming up with the right hi/low/diff-lock lever as the BW box only has hi/low - but again Mr Ashcroft came to the rescue!

white90 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 not me A mate has ruined his one and has found a replacement but it has a BW fitted currently he should have the said shaft on his present fitment. If we cabn confirm he cann organise buying this one. Auto is so last year any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I had to change the difflock linkage around when I replaced the R380 in my old 3.9 armchair with a ZF auto, it requires the 200Tdi type or something IIRC, but Mr Ashcroft supplied everything needed and it all went perfectly even down to some muppet at Land Rover having forgotten to loctite the flywheel bolts on so even those came out easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 but if all that is required is a different output shaft then that is easy to change as you just whip a bolt out of the middle and pop the shaft off the end of the autobox, it is a short "stub" shaft It's FTC 5090. "stub shaft" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 If you are changing to a cross drilled input gear from a non-cross drilled one you need to change the stub shaft for the one from Ashcrofts with longer splines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
