Greetings and Happy New Year!
Dear Sirs,
After a long gestation from doing Land Rover stuff....thank God. I'm back restoring my discovery V8 and I couldn't mate the engine to the ZF transmission. Just a recap, I never pulled down the ZF tranny and the TC fits straight in the middle. My procedure then was to install the TC and the engine afterwards but I get a gap between the bell housing and the transmission. My local indy asked me if the TC of the TDI and V8 is the same or different since we succefully rebuilt one and maybe accidentally interchanged the TCs. In my mind should it be better if we rebuilt the engine and tranny on the ground before we install it to the chassis/body? I have attached the current pix for reference to find out if I have missed any part/s.
Thank guys in advance
