bill van snorkle Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm looking for a long car style female propshaft slip joint to suit a Zf auto transmission from a RRC. Nothing exciting, just making up a crawler box adaption from a ZF/LT230 to a borg warner planetary unit and need a long female spline with which to make the adaptor spud shaft. Can anyone tell me what common cars also use the ZF auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Jaguars and bmws are the common ones...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyRoverlander Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I know that at least the 1995-1997 jag xj6 uses it. The 3.2 uses the 4hp22 and the 4.0 uses the 4hp24. I dont know of any more vehicles that use one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydie Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The ZF4HP22 and ZHHP24 were commpnly used on Austin London Taxi's - in two wheel (rear) drive form, as was the R380 manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks for your assistance gents. I discovered this afternoon that a LandRover GKN overdrive has a spud shaft with female splines that are identical to the ZF output shaft, and the correct female Landrover 10 spline pattern on the other end, so that is one less part that has to be made. Question now is, if I require a few more of those GKN spud shafts, is there a firm in the UK that sells replacement parts for the no longer made GKN LandRover overdrive?

bill van snorkle Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 This company have also been quite helpful with queries and also frequently come in cheaper than Devon too: http://www.overdrive-repairs.co.uk I haven't tried them yet. as going by their website they don't seem to mention LandRover, and the spudshaft ( mainshaft adaptor sleeve) that I'm interested in is LandRover specific. I've sent an email to Devon though, after reading that they bought up GKN's stock of LandRover overdrive parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew the differences and similarities between the normal GKN ODs and the LR versions when i contacted them about a few things though, so see how you go with D44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do advertise that they remanufacture adaptor shafts for all other Laycock overdrives, and as the LandRover adaptor sleeve is likely to suffer from corrosion fretting just like LT230 mainshaft gears, there is probably a demand for them as consumable replacement parts. So I have emailed them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
