[Mauro1963]

Hi all,

I'm planning about convert my 110 TD5 from manual to auto, using a gearbox from disco 300, i have full 300 gearbox with converter and bell plus td5 gearbox and bell w/out converter, anyone knows if i can fit 300 gearbox with his converter and TD5 bell on TD5 engine?

I need other parts? i wish know more as possible before open car

Thanks for help

Have you thought about ashcroft transmissions for assistance.

Id suggest that you need to consider the basics;

• Gearbox crossmember/support (if there is one)
• Overall gearbox lenght (is it the same)
• Kickdown (cable mounting on to linkage etc)
• Td5 engine and connections (isnt there a clutch thing on the ECU?)

I am pretty sure the Td5 converter is a completely different fitting. In fairness to Ashcroft, as selling these is one of their lines of business I doubt they want to reveal exactly what bits come from which parts bin

I have found them to be very open on here in the past. There are a few ways to do it. I have seen Ashtrans post a full list of what you need to do the mech or electronic conversion. You have 3 options. Buy the bits on the cheap, buy from them and fit yourselves and get them to do it. But I am sure they are happy to assist regardless.
