I have a 1993 D130 that has undergone a drive train swap. The original V8 was replaced by a 5.3 liter LC9 and 6L80 transmission. The shop that did the swap used a shifter from a Land Rover Discovery 1. It works, but the transmission is a 6-speed and the shifter only has 4 positions: D, 3, 2 and 1 (and of course P, N, and R). So it seems I don't have manual access to all 6 gears. Is this a common solution for LS/LC swaps? Since I normally drive in D it doesn't matter much, but since I live...

In fact, I swear it seemed that the head of... Variability in Head Bolt Resistance ..read more

He bought a new harness for a regular 110 but its very clearly not going to... Question About a Tricky Wiring Problem (Defender 110 1985 ..read more
