Different a TDI is very harsh always changing up and down the gears. A v8 can be very smooth and still driven hard if you get me.

Yeah exactly my thought you haven't got the *hit* of the turbo ( which in his is well tuned

)

Basically as we ALL told you way back when is you shoulda spent the extra and got a 90 gearbox!!!

Be reet

I'm liking the challenge, good thing to put on my CV when applying for placements too

yeah disels do not run as smooth as a petrol due to higher compression , have a bit more of a kick to em

Yeah that too and greater torque

wasn't thinking of the turbo really but I see your point. I was just on about the harshness when dropping down low revs there is no go so you tend to snatch a lower gear where as a V8 a good one will pull 3rd gear dropping down low for every roundabout and then accelerating again without ever releasing drive. V8's suffered from mainshaft and input spline wear but the Tdi was king of destructon as the ammount of gear changes its done in its life must hammer the bejesus out of it and the lack of lubrication LR built in.

true torque is harsher

jai_landrover · Oct 6, 2013

I suppose the Tdi and previous Diesels suffered all the same main spline wear. What exactly blew up on the series boxes would be good to know

More a case of overcoming challenges and making things that shouldn't work together work

True but I'd already sold my adaptor plate and bought the AW transmission recon V8 box with a new bellhousing for £250 all in :doh:

Plus this way I get a LSD rear

Seem to have hijacked a thread! Back to the topic bitches

The last box my mate broke ( you may have seen the pic of me recovering him ) was pulling out of a junction under load trying to get out of the line of traffic so not a gear change issue it just couldn't handle the power

jai_landrover · Oct 6, 2013

My 2.5na diesel gearbox that came out my 90 had half a mm of spline left. Thats why I wasn't worried about the deal that I remove the box I take away the 90. Fair deal to me

Didn't have much power either

jai_landrover · Oct 6, 2013

I would cruise at 50mph! the noise was the bad thing.

halfshafts the weekest point if box is in reasonable condition

He's not broken a half shaft yet but plenty of boxes

old boxes, i used to drive them when new,you could pull anything you wanted in low but couldnt tow a caravan above 30 in wind,half shafts the weakest point if you can drive
