Hi,

I don't know anything about swaping an auto-box into a manual truck, except that it can be done... Shame to lose your manual box. I would have thought a rebuild would be a better option/cheaper/or comparitive expense?

The petrol manual-box doesn't bolt up to the TD27, but I had an idea if you were to find one....

Maybe try this guy....

He sells kits to mate engines and boxes and may know of something.... Its a long shot, but and another option to explore if you haven't already...
