td27t engine with d21 gearbox

[datsun_nugget]

hi has any one else put a td27t terrano engine in a d21 4x4 and butted it up to the navara gearbox?

if so has anyone else had clutch problems with this set up, or should i have put a matching terrano gearbox in my ute to match the motor?

cheers

See if a Nissan Cabster clutch will fit.

To the OP. I replaced a standard TD27 (manual) with a TD27 turbo from a Terrano. The Terrano was auto so I used the original flywheel and clutch and cover plate. Only issue was getting the tacho to work. Ask for more detail if you decide to go that way.

Do a search on here. Just read a post in the last couple of days talking about the difference between the TD27 and TD27T with the tacho connection.
