Defender TD5 6HP Auto Conversion
Hellloo,

Has anyone done a 6HP auto conversion on a Defender TD5 on here?

Be good to hear some feedback about how they run and perform.

Not overly interested in an M57 at this point.

Thanks Very Happy Instagram @defender_ventures

Haha just not right now. I like my Td5 its 280hp, easy to work on and 550nm+ of torque so no slouch.

Just getting a bit tired of the R380, eventually need a new uprated box, clutch will need doing in maybe 30k as well. Modernish auto would be nice and paves the way for an M57 in the future. Instagram @defender_ventures

I know MW do a TD5 to 8hp but I don't think there's one to 6hp. At least that I've read of !
But I also have an M57 so that's me out too 😁

Actually joking aside, you’re probably right. Plus you would have to spend quite a bit more to make an m57 auto quicker than a tuned TD5 with sequential. It’s a no brainer, get that kidney on eBay! WARNING.
