TDCi Puma Defender ZF Automatic Conversion – Drive In / Drive Out
Regular price $25,500.00DRIVE IN. DRIVE OUT. – TDCi PUMA DEFENDER AUTOMATIC CONVERSION
Convert your manual 2.4 or 2.2 TDCi Land Rover Defender Puma to a proven ZF 4-speed automatic transmission with a complete professional installation by KINGPIN Fab.
Complete drive-in, drive-out conversion from $25,500.
Designed specifically for the Defender Puma platform, this conversion replaces the factory MT82 6-speed manual while retaining the Defender's original LT230 transfer case and four-wheel-drive functionality.
The conversion keeps the drivetrain layout as close to the factory configuration as possible, retaining high range, low range and centre diff lock, while giving the vehicle the smoothness and ease of use of an automatic transmission.
THE CONVERSION INCLUDES:
- Fully rebuilt ZF 4-speed automatic transmission
- Heavy-duty torque converter
- Purpose-built Puma engine to ZF bellhousing and flexplate system
- ZF to LT230 transfer case adaptor
- Electronic automatic transmission controller
- Automatic transmission shifter and cable system
- Heavy-duty standalone transmission oil cooler
- Automatic brake pedal conversion
- Clutch pedal removal and blanking
- Transmission tunnel / interior modifications as required
- High / Low and centre diff-lock linkage retained
- Transmission wiring and controller installation
- Transmission fluid and associated consumables
- Complete installation, setup and road testing
WHY CONVERT YOUR PUMA TO AUTO?
For many Defender owners, the automatic completely changes how the vehicle feels to drive.
You retain the character, low-range capability and LT230 transfer case of the Defender, but lose the constant clutch work and gear changing of the factory MT82 manual.
It is particularly well suited to vehicles used for:
- Daily driving
- Touring
- Beach and sand driving
- Technical off-road work
- Stop/start traffic
- Drivers who simply prefer an automatic Defender
The electronic transmission controller allows the ZF to be properly calibrated to suit the Defender application, including shift behaviour and torque-converter lock-up characteristics.
