Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if a 2001 Discovery transmission will fit a 2003 Discovery? I've got a chance to by a 2003 with a bad transmission and have found a 2001 transmission. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Yes, the trans is the same. Have fun with the swap... How much is the trans? I think Will Tillery sells them for only $500 and offers a good warranty.

 

Thanks Bryce, the tranny I found is $300 without a warranty.

 

They're not the same.

 

True story. The 03-04 have a heavier duty version for the larger engine.

 

I would have mentioned the two part numbers but I can't remember them, it's like 4bh22 or something. I'll try to find it. The later one is a half inch longer.

Edit: The early(99-02) is 4HP22 and the later(03-04 to handle the 4.6L) is 4HP24 both ZF transmissions designed in the 80s...

 

thanks guys for the info. I'll see if I can find one from an 03 or 04.

 

It will work

BUT

Get everything from the flywheel back. The spacer rings are different and if you put the 03/04 in it may burn itself up

 

and you would need the drive shaft also as they are different lengths

 

Well, don't I feel stupid. That's what I get for assuming anything!

BUT, on a more positive note, I am parting an '04 D2 w/ 82k miles on it. Ran and drove fine before I started pulling bits from it, I personally put about 100 miles on the truck before starting the part-out. I had the trans tentatively sold to a friend for his '01, but now realize it won't be plug & play for him. BUT, it would be for you! I'd take $400 for the trans, but we have to figure out shipping.
