hi what does TQ stand forsorrry but am only really familiar with manual cars
TQF was the old name for transmission fluid. So if he means torque converter he is way off the mark.

hi thanks for that wasnt sure i thought torque convertor. would you happen to know if i can drop my box out and put another box straight in and connect it up?
If you know what you are doing and you have the correct facilities that is not a problem. If you don't and you haven't it is.

You can but it has to be one off a P38, you can also with a bit of extra work fit the stronger ZF4HP24 from the 4.6 petrol, need to change the bell housing. A recon torque convertor would be a good idea if you drop the box.
would the gear ratios still be same as i thought i could only install one from p38 4.0l or 2.5?

Gear ratios are the same and you must use the existing ECU not the one from the 4.6. The box is longer but the spacer between the box and the transfer box is shorter so the overall length is the same. I plan to fit the HP24 when I finally get round to replacing my gearbox.
The HP22 is near the torque limit for the diesel.
cheers for that i am hoping i can find one for the right price now. i am going to do the box first as i am a little short on cash so i will do the torque convertor in the next 2 months.
will a 4.0 or 4.6 front prop fit on my diesel p38?

No idea, but I would have thought they would be the same length.

So to answer the question a petrol prop will not fit a diesel auto.
never tried but ,they will be different numbers for a reason
Hi all thanks for all the comments and suggestions on how to try and fix my problem changed oil and filter to no avail so i am now chsnging the gearbox.
Question for Datatek
You mentioned fitting a zh 24 gearbox could you tell me what i need to do to get the gearbox to work?

what was oil like
Oil was brown/ black and filter was filthy too. Its started to sort of work in reverse but takes loads of revs to move a few inches and i have very slight incline on my drive and as soon as it was trying to get up it just stopped dead.
Figured it is a reverse clutch so i have decided to get a second hand box.
Reverse only slightly worked in low range

might just be clutch b only needs bell housing and pump housing removing to check ,plus ensure any oil residue in another box is red if you get one
