    Transplant ZF 8sp .. anyone

    Gday All,
    Just wondering if anyone has or if its possible to transplant an 8sp instead of rebuilding the 6sp.
    I would say I'm up for a box rebuild, guessing torque converter as a minimum, so seeing the D4 came out with the 8sp bolted to basically the same engine being the 2.7 tdv6 , got me thinking if this is a viable or possible option.

    Cheers Bulletman

    Maybe a chat to the guys in Coffs Harbour that were doing the 5 cylinder conversions in the Defenders. They would have figured out the control circuitry for the transmissions I'd imagine.

    I read on FB that it is viable on the D4. Could be tricky with different trim in the D3 interior?

    Thinking further in this, and how epic an 8sp transplant could be on a D4 V8…

    8HP into a D4 is relatively easy, but into a D3 is more complicated, I mean anything can be done but it's not a straight swap like a D4.
    D4 is easier because the shifter/console is a straight swap over and bolts straight up to a 3.0, but that's not the case in a 2.7 D3...

    The other issue is that by the time you've collected all the parts, it'll be around the same cost as a proper rebuild on a 6HP. Then you have the additional costs for the conversion work on top... but if you really want it then yeah sure drop me a line.
