    the 6.2 j code motor makes about 300 to 330 lb tq. and zf22 is ok up to that. because many other cars use zf22 that make 300lb tq

    and also it has a lot to do about how u drive, if i keep flooring the gas pedal every time that rapid torque from the diesel will kill many Trans .

    Excellent!

    I really wasn't being a smarty pants, it just seemed like it might be a concern given what a torque monster - not - the 3.9 is

    Best of luck,

    fast huh? lol if we can make Rolls Royce phantom limo for prince Charles or Maybach limo for Michael Jackson then making an adapter for range rover is piece of cake.

    no change for the starter, no change for the original 6.2 flywheel, torque converter even on original zf comes with adapter. witch need a little modification and its a beautiful fit .

    basically with this kit u can convert any d1 d2 rrc or defender automatic zf to work with 6.2 diesel in 6 hours

    pics for sure and video as well coming up.

    possibly yes, that will be low cost and easy solution for 6.2 diesel conversions

    and also i am changing the heater system to 25.000 btu electric unit that we use in the limousines., so that big ugly non efficient unit is gone.
