Don't be put off, maybe 'you' are the one that can show us the way.

Bmw stable is what you need (I'd imagine) and don't forget, once you remove the over-large auto brake pedal there will be plently of room for three.

going manual doesn't look difficult

If you are real, plenty of pics - this one will turn some heads

Got to wonder what it would do to insurance, as that would be a heck of a mod!

Who wants a poxy manual box. Having to change gear ones self is degrading.

being constantly on the back of a recovery truck is degrading, anyway range rovers were born with a manual box

Yes I agree.

However he LT95 in the early years wasn't particularly reliable and the noise was horrific
Range Rover got its act together in 1982 with the Chrysler 727 Auto which is regarded to be the best/robust gearbox fitted to the Range Rover.

Then they went to the ZF4HP box which is pretty good if maintained.

Overfinch when fettled with the 570i and 630i fitted the GM 700r4 which is bombproof a derivative of the turbo 400.

Then they decided in the L322 to fit the shíttest gearbox to a 3 tonne bus.
A Gearbox which even before the L322's conception didn't have a good reputation, did they rectify anything when used in their iteration?
NOPE!!
It would barely handle the 328i and they thought it would cope with the L322..

What a bunch of....................

Then they went with the ZF6hp26 which is a great box..

The L322 is built with Auto in mind, the footwell is narrower than that in a Series II Jag..

I've got auto and manual. In the diesel the manual box is much livelier.

Where did you find a manual L322? Did you do the conversion yourself? If so , why haven't we heard about it, you naughty boy.

You haven't heard because it's a P38 manual

P38 for me. L322 too new and looks prone to rust!

Having to drive an auto because you don’t hold a full license for a manual would be degrading

doesn’t work other way round

This is true. Everyone should have to pass the full test.

A lot of women are safer in an auto in my experience because they don't have to look at the gear lever to change gear or use 6000rpm to pull away
