Is it really that hard to decipher? We're on a Land-Rover forum, in the Range Rover child board and someone mentions something from a 4.2 into a classic.
My first guess would be from a 4.2L V8 LSE. Of course OP could have been a bit more specific in the first place.
Not sure on the specifics...but do the different engines and their associated torque maps have different gear change points...???
So the Gearbox and ECU (from the 4.2) will have been setup for the torque output from the 4.2 and when mated to either the 3.5 or the 3.9 engine, the gear change points will be different due to different torque outputs....
Or am I over thinking this??
I know the more modern engine/gearbox combo's are linked to talk to eachother, so when the engine load/demand increases/decreases the gearbox adapts and selects the most appropriate gear based on engine output!

I suspect you are. Although a confirmed 'Classic' fan I'm not familiar with the later model years but I don't think the gear-shifts are controlled by any ECU, it's simply a hydraulic 'box & electrics didn't come into play until the P38.

What's your problem newb? Early classics the box is hydraulically controlled, late are electronic so not such a daft question.Is it really that hard to decipher? We're on a Land-Rover forum, in the Range Rover child board and someone mentions something from a 4.2 into a classic.

I was under the impression that the Range Rover Classic was fitted with the 4HP22 from ~85 to when it finished production in ~95. And as such were only hydraulically controlled. If you could link to a source with more information on this then that would be great, I'm curious to know the differences and variations on how they worked.

I could be wrong, but I though the last of the Classics had the ZF4HP22e.
Early boxes were totally hydraulic with manual selection of the lower hears from the stick. The ZF4HP22e uses electronically controlled solenoids to select the gears, only the A clutch and the reverse clutch are manually selected from the stick, also there is no governor on the e version, regulation is electronic via a solenoid.

Damn, I'm a **** hot newb!
I think you are.
