Fitting 3.9/4.0 torque converter to TD5

[Slunnie]

I'm in the process of having a ZF4HP22EH rebuilt with ZF4HP24 internals to handle a chipped/intercooled TD5.

A comment from Ashcroft's is that the TD5 torque converter is barely satisfactory for the standard TD5, and fitting the bigger 3.9/4.0 V8 torque converter is a better option to handle the power.

AMV in Melbourne are doing the conversion but are saying the torque converter for the TD5 is a 3 bolt pattern and the V8 is a 4 bolt pattern to the flywheel....

Any ideas about how this may be done????? Any help would be hugely appreciated before it gets done.

any luck with this ?

get a custom made flex plate...

easy.

easier is to have the TC modded... remove the normal mounts and then have the td5 ones welded on. then get it balanced up.

food for thought indeed...

Hi Mate, I wasn't able to do this mod at the time. Still wish it was able to happen.

I'd exchange the TC and flex plate with a unit from Ashcrofts and do it that way.
