I have a 200tdi 90 and I am looking at converting it to auto but mine is lifted and the rear shaft is at a good angle and shortening it would probably lead to a lot of trouble (am I right?) I would rather not move the engine forward if possible, I wonder has anyone ever done it?

Thinks you have to move the engine forward due to the bell housing length.
Otherwise you have a very small prop shaft that eats UJs
for measurements get the gearbox dimensions(where it bolts to the chassis) & work forward. This will show you size of prop and engine position.

With this conversion likely need a special prop made up.

Sounds like a head ache, how does the kickdown work on a 200tdi injection pump, need a back plate for 200tdi to the 4hp22 housing for the starter & to mount the bell housing, oil cooler + pipes for the box, gear lever & cables plus mounting, mounts for the gearbox & crossmember, full peddle box so master cylinder n servo may not be compatible. Speedo gear will need swapped.
300tdi autos are edc injection pumps which will fit onto the 200tdi but will need the no 4 injector with the wire to run this
yer sell the 200tdi & buy an auto. lol

200 and early 300 autos were not edc, edc came out on the (I think) 95 N reg models, when bhp went from 111 to 121.
Even the edc models still had a kickdown cable, they had a throttle cable from throttle pedal to a throttle potentiometer under the bonnet, then kickdown cable from potentiometer to the gearbox.

I’m sure you want a V8 auto…Ah cool so he'd need to find an early 200tdi disco & rob all the bits from it.

I think the gearbox is the same regardless if the engine is EDC or not.Ah cool so he'd need to find an early 200tdi disco & rob all the bits from it.
