You have to use the diesel torque convertor on the HP24 same as the HP22 as the petrol ones will not fit the diesel bell housing, but it works fine, it's been done.I mean will it work for the 4hp22

Not all 4HP22's are physically the same, many went into 2wd vehicles and have different tail shafts, housings etc. It's also possible that the gear ratios may be different.I still haven't checked my solenoid resistances yet but hope to tomorrow. I will make a few enquiries with the local autobox expert also.
The 4hp22 auto is fitted to a heap of vehicles and i imagine would interchange as long as you use the correct bell housing and torque converter. I guess the internals of all 4hp22 transmissions would be the same, it would just be the different stall ratio of the torque converters that determine the required load to get the vehicle moving. Ie the torque from a 4.0 v8 would be far greater than a 2.5 diesel so the torque converter would need to have different specs. If you used a v8 petrol torque converter in a diesel application then i'm guessing that the diesel would be even more sluggish at pulling away than it is normally, HOW BAD WOULD THAT BE!!!
I bought a 1999 4.0 range rover with this problem you would be driving along fine and it would decide to change down gear and back up for no reason the only thing I could find wrong was the oil was slightly to high on the dipstick dropped the oil to correct level and it hasn't been a problem since and I have had it 2 years now.
