Is this possible: Swapping 03 MT / TD42Ti drivetrain into an 06 AT / ZD3?

[dyrgutt]

Hi All, my 06 AUTO ZD3 wagon has blown up – melted 2nd and 4th cylinders; fairly common i've since discovered. Anyhow, I have access to an 03 Manual TD42Ti drivetrain and all components – would this be a compatible swap [easy’ish] or a complete nightmare? If it’s a bad idea, what years are the most compatible for doing a complete swap over? Thanks for any tips/advice/suggestions, Cheers Dyr.

Same as 93Patrol pop over to the intros, but to answer your
question its a very common conversion and well worth it.
Plenty written on the subject check the search engine

That is the single best mod you can do to any 3L powered patrol. Should be straight forward.
