That's a bugger Jay
To be fair, just like I said on Facebook, there's nothing wrong with the RE4R03A box. It's a strong box and I've heard of Aussies running it mated to some beefy engine conversions (like an LS1) with no issues and it was used in the production 300ZX, so it can run some serious horsepower Guess if they've not converted any autos they'll be reluctant to to experiment and would have to start from scratch on gearbox adaptors. I'm planning to convert my shorty to manual at some point (love the auto but it's the only ecu in the whole truck and I want things as simple as possible). I know the Y60s have the holes for the clutch pedal etc all there but just blanked off, maybe the Y61s are similar? |

If the Aussies can match a Chevy V8 diesel to the RE4R03A auto then the OM606 should be doable https://www.marks4wd.com/mfk605cdzd30a.html

Clutch pedals are pretty history on newer cars
Quote:
Pretty sure no clutch pedal in a Tesla, Ferrari have stopped making cars with a clutch pedal in 2016. Mercedes SLS - automatic only. Bugatti Veyron - direct shift 7 speed auto only. |

The only Chevy V8 Diesel that I can find at the moment is the 6.6 Duramax I first posted about! (Maybe it's meant to be... Although it is £6,400!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Duramax-6...0AAOSwuXxc1E1P Looks ropey too! I'd also have to figure out what 'Stand alone' ECU I'd need to control the Auto box. What a rabbit hole! |
