GU 4.2 Auto box?

Post by JJ Demo »

Got a GU 4.2 turbo diesel ute and want to auto it for comp. Will a gq box fit? Does it need to be a diesel 4.2 auto or are they the same?
Any help would be great.

GU auto is a better box.... you can get the upgraded bits for it that aren't available in the GQ auto. People usually buy the GU valve body for the GQ.

Petrol or diesel?? They have different bell housings.


a TD42 is the same mounts from start to finish. The GQ box is nowhere near as strong as the GU one.
