chrisyork said:Regrettably the 4 cylinder is a bit of a problem for alternative gearboxes be they auto or manual. Since it was only ever used in the P6 and died at the end of P6 production there are no ready made bellhousings to suit alternative boxes. As with everything in engineering, if you're determined enough anything is possible, but it certainly won't be straightforward.
If you were to replace the Rover 4 by an O series (the closest in spirit and used in the SD1 2000) or M16/T16 then the field opens up care of their use in LDV vans in RWD configuration.

Hope this makes sense

If you have the later PRND21 box, if you put it in 1and pull away it stays there, if you put it in 2 and pull away it pulls away in 2 and stays there (it doesn't shunt between 2 and 1) and D is fully auto
Isn't that what I said? Well if I didn't it's what I meant :roll:harveyp6 said:With the early box pulling away in L means it stays in low, pull away in D1 is fully auto, pulling away in D2 means you pull away in 2 and then it will change into top (and back as required)
