Hi all. At long last I've been able to track down one of these boxes at price suitable for rebuild. The torque convertor is missing unfortunately, - can you tell me if a suitable one is easy to obtain?
- Are they compatible across other boxes or cars? Can you help me with some examples?
- The selector cable and speedo cable are present, the support is not. Is there anything else I MUST have?
I'd be grateful for any general advice for the conversion on my P5B. I'd like it to look standard. Thanks Roy |

With the number of Land and Range Rover V8 autos languishing in scrapyards, finding a converter shouldn't be difficult. When it comes time for the rebuild have a word with Andy "eightofthem" on here. Come to that he can probably supply you with a converter as well.
PS I think he's done the conversion on a P5B as well.

Yes, talk to Andy.
He helped me overhauling my BW35 including an overhauled converter.

Well I have just picked up the gearbox today. It is from an LDV ambulance. He tells me I need flex plate, spacer and a special bush which he can supply me from a discovery later on. Thanks I will speak to Andy as I would like to get it refurbed and beefed up internally.

The guy I got it from said he could get what I need but lets see. Theres going to be a few things. Can the 4hp22 be beefed up with better insides as part of a refurb? Its going to sit behind a 4.6 |
