Surely the vast majority of P38s are autos? While some of these may be tired I'm sure with the knowledge and experience gained from working on your own you'll be able to find a good one, and maybe even an upgrade in terms of specification compared to what you have now?

If you do do it, go for the ZF4HP24 and not the 22, you will need the correct bell housing and torque convertor flex plate etc for your particular engine and you use the HP22 ECU, other than that it's a straight fit and much stronger than the HP22.
 
cheers data will do going to save a few penny's and go for it i have worked out of the advice i have received i need loom , ZF4HP24 gearbox, torque convertor flex plate and diagnostics to make it all talk :D

might have to change the prop to not sure if the manual and auto are the same size plus the gearbox that you recommended seems to be more for petrol models bit of luck James might pop by and give me the benefit of his knowledge

The HP24 is the stronger box fitted to the 4.6, but it's basically the same as the HP22 and they can be interchanged,
