Put your glasses on.
That stain (Gav and Tom will confirm) was made by Tom's 101. We all saw it dripping on that spot.
Your oil stain was the much larger one three and four bays east.

The stain near the bowser was would be even larger - it was ****ing out when he first pulled up.

What do you think?

Definitely from a Classic Rangie, although the main gearbox will be a ZF 4HP22.
The B/W is a straight swop for an LT230 and one will bolt in in plave of the other, the LT230 does need a slightly shorter front prop shaft though.

Gearing is about spot on with that setup though. I had a 4HP22 with a Borg Warner in my old GS behind an efi 3.9, went very well and was even happy pulling an Ambi on the trailer at 100 kph, with more to give...

GG confirmed today the box is a 4HP22. A couple of questions if you have seen this conversion before - how did you do the kick down cable? This one has none and requires the driver to drop it back manually if required. As you say, the gearing is spot on with this set up.. The lack of kick down is its only draw back IMO.

Also, if it were mine, I'd fit a tacho. I found I couldn't work out when the converter locked up - oh, and on that point, should the converter unlock by itself - without the kick down cable fitted? I couldn't tell if it was doing that or not.

Mine had the complete engine/box and efi setup from a Rangie, so everything was there and connected to start.

The cable should be there (comes up from the left hand side of the box) and is probably best attached to the throttle lever on the carb, and make a bracket to hold the outer of the cable.
After that it's a question of adjusting how tight to set the cable to suit how you want the box to change gear.

Tighter makes it hold gears longer before changing up, and will kickdown quicker, looser makes it a bit more sedate, earlier changes and needs more throttle input to change down.

Lockup speed should be the same as a Range Rover at about 55 - 57mph (5.54 diffs and 9.00x16's work out similarly to 3.54:1 and 205r16's) although earlier 4HP22's had a 45 mph lockup.
You should be able to feel it, although no kickdown cable may be dulling the sensation?

Not totally sure on unlock speed, but between 50 and 55 mph on later boxes, not sure about earlier 45 mph lockup ones.

Thanks for that. I think the kickdown was left off because it may have been too hard for them to connect it to the twin carbs on the 3.5 - not sure.

Hi All,

My 101 came with an automatic gearbox - being a 4HP-22 (with the Borg Warner 13-61-005 Transfer Case).
The gearbox and transfer case came out of a 92 RR 3.9 efi

There is no actual gearbox selector cover - so you can't see what gear you are in when you move the auto lever.

I plan to make my own - it shouldn't be too hard to make something from thin aluminium sheet, cover it in some sort of leather/fabric, and mark the P-R-N-D...

My question is - what is the actual shift pattern? I am guessing that it is:
P-R-N-D-3-2-1
or
P-R-N-D-2-1

Can anybody help?

Last One Tom...

Theres also the Quantum Drive setting!!
