putting auto box from rover 75v8 into mgzt 260

[Jez Marsh]

Can this be done fairly easily?

Quite a few variables but if you have the parts, not bothered about the cost and good mechanical skills. Could get a 75 and convert the spec to a ZT.

Welcome along

There was a lad selling a 260 last year which he had converted to look in every way like the Rover version, apart from the 5 speed box. He had wanted a Rover with a manual box. So I guess it was cheaper to do it that way than get Rover and put a manual box in. Curious. It looked great though

Umm yes and no. Different ECU car will need recoding via T4. You will also need oil cooling pipes oil cooler different radiator hoses. Different down pipes. If you want an auto get you self a zt 180

Or get yourself one of the few ZT260 with autobox which were built for the Australian market

Seems totally pointless.

The Auto box is crap!

You just need 600+ BHP

Thanks eurorover. The question only arises if my lady finds the clutch too much.

[Jez Marsh]

Thanks AndyG. I had a pre facelift 260 in starlight 04 to 08 but was forced to sell by the now ex. So I think I joined then but have lost the details. Cant even remember vin or index.
Now considering a ztt

All help gratefully accepted.
