Been too busy lately, but just bought a bunch of these.....
AOD's

Head over to Perth in two weeks time and I'll bring back the converted one and make a copy or two.
The main case is 510mm long as opposed to 650mm for an LT85, and the pan doesn't stick out too far, so should be plenty of room to adapt.
Plan is to run one of these around in the Isuzu truck I have (as it's easier to fit the thing) for some testing. Then depending how the shifts are I'll either stick with the hydraulic or go with electronic control, change to the 4R70W gear set (for a wider spread) and plant it all in my long term project of a 130 (and that maybe behind a 6BG1T yet......)
Sheldon, re read my first post in this thread:)
Damien, re read my 3rd post in this thread.Quote:

Auto's are boring. To hard to roll start as well:)
Dual, triple? batteries and a spare starter motor and you should never need to roll start.... beside if you can't start it, that's when auto's get less boring and you become ingenious to get home :)Quote:

The adapters length appears to push the LT230 back about 60mm.
It has used a new LT230 input gear with an internal spline to suit the output of the AOD. Hence, no modifications are needed to the AOD.
I will most likely redesign it so that instead of having a new LT230 input gear, that the output shaft of the AOD is instead modified to suit the original LT230 input gear and hence be able to keep stock engine and transfer case in the original position.

It's currently still in transit.
It has arrived :D

What was it fitted into/ up to???
Looks interesting :)
I canned my conversion as the donor cruiser box became 'unavailable'...:(

This conversion was fitted to a 110 living in WA which had a turboed 4BD1 and had been in use for over 13 years... the owner tells me his rig is full of gear and very heavily loaded.
It has a bellhousing adapter ring to suit the Landrover 4BD1 Flywheel housing
And a rear adaptor to suit the LT230
I'm rather excited too :)
