Description

Adapter Kit to bolt a Land Rover Discovery 3-4 ZF GS6-53 gearbox up to a Td5 engine. Ideal for TD5 owners who wish to upgrade to a 6 speed gearbox in their Discovery 2 or Defender. The kit can also be used to TD5 swap a Discover 3-4 or fit a Td5/6speed manual in custom build applications.

This adapter kit coupled with our Land Rover Discovery 3-4 Manual to LT230 Adapter Kit – 78mm thick will make the transmission the same length as the stock TD5 transmission. This means the engine or transfer box will not require moving forward/backward and the stock propshafts can be retained.

Adapter plate

Spigot adapter and bearing

Clutch Slave Shim

Clutch Cover Shim
