Overheating gearboxes is the biggest cause of failure according to Ashcrofts and slippage is the cause of heat. That is why I have fitted a thermocouple at their recommendation. Torque is still less than the 4.6 even with my chipped diesel.
James, ask me in 10 years how is my gearbox doing.
I'm not James and it hasn't been ten years quite yet.
So how is your gearbox doing?
I'm quite interested in this gearbox swap especially now that Ashcroft has a conversion kit to fit the petrol converter housing to M51 and M57 diesel engines.
I realize the OP hasn't done any posts since 2013 but maybe others has done the same conversion and has feedback to give.
Cheers
