    2009 MY C/W Transit engine and G/B. AUTO conversion???

    Hello all

    Due to a deteriorating lower back and currently left leg problems due to same, at some time in the (perhaps) near future, or further along I
    might need an auto box, or alternatively move my deffie on (not likely); daughters want it

    Questions here are:
    • Is there a "conversion"/converter, around SE Qld, or on whole East coast,
    • Which slush box would go straight in, D1, D2, or Transit, (noting that D2 box needs a computer and ECU interface???)
    • On D1 the diff ratios between auto and manual are different, auto being "longer/leggier",
    • Which box would give similar legs to the MY09 6 spd manual final drive?


    Look forward to comments

    Cheers

    Rick F

    Rick, what box is in the 2.2 auto Ford Rangers?

    I have a feeling that it might bolt straight in , seeing the Defender and the 2.2 Ranger use the same manual configuration.

    Maybe they were unaware of 6R80 to LT230 adapter being available, and doing an engine to transmission adapter was easier than transmission to transfer. And you can buy a centre console for a ZF 2009 MY C/W Transit engine and G/B. AUTO conversion???

    May be, JE Engineering in the UK have been doing 6r80 to lt230 for a few years now, would have thought ashcrofts would have just used their kit

    worth a read re 6R80 - 6R80 Transmission Swap Info | Bronco Forum - Full Size Ford Bronco Forum

    Momentum 4x4 in Wauchope (NSW) have done a 6R80 to LT230 conversion. Not sure of the deets.

    the 6R80 output spline is 31. There is merit in researching for Ford to LT230 adaptors using a 31 spline adaptor. 6R80 came in 4wd config in US. Could get the 4wd extension housing and make an adaptor plate to bolt to the LT230 based on the adaptor shaft length. Or find a gear cutter machine shop in Oz to broach the LT230 input gear to 31 spline. Not sure of the material thickness but the gear cutter would advise. That solution is a close coupling arrangement.

    if you are willing to use a US transfer, the Dana 300 is right hand drop. 2 negatives, its a 2wd to 4wd box not constant 4wd and is centre output (which should be fine in a 110). Early Dodge used a right hand drop NP205 but its a beast of a transfer.

    It's all possible with time/money/brains.

    I believe there are already some in puma's here, and there is one in a RRC behind a 4bd1t that i have seen footage of it. Kits can be sourced locally or abroad
