Thread: V8 auto box into a TD5 auto

Thanks in anticipation.

Marty the torque converter, bellhousing and pump/ stator support etc are different. Rest should be able to be swapped over. The ratios in both are the same and transfer case is the same.

Jc

As above , plus you'll need to swap the extension housing and spacer for the output shaft over from yours as they are different as well

Hi There,
When I transfer the bell housing and torque convertor (and the extension housing + spacer) do I use the three numbers on the box that determines the correct positioning of the torque convertor I'm taking the parts off to the box I'm transferring to? Or do I continue to use the three numbers on the box I am transferring to?

Would seem logical to transfer the numbers from the box that the torque convertor and bell housing came from.

Cheers Marty
