For those that dont know Im building up a 76 2 door Range Rover with a 3.9 in it. I have both an LT95 and a ZF 4 speed in my shed, which one should I run ?
I want to run the LT95 because I have fears that the ZF will sap the power out of my 3.9 but I have to buy a clutch for the LT95 ($$$) where as the ZF is ready to go.
this is my dilema
Mark: Im bogged...... how longs it gonna take you to get here
Das: Im at home ...
Mark: Well hurry up
Considering the same optioins myself .
IMHO 90% of 4wding is better in an auto.
Apart from descents (gearing can fix this)
Stall stops and starts.
It takes some of the ( fun work judjement ) out of it.
I'm lucky in that the RR lt95 is my DD but I don't have to travel far to work .
Its a question that you must way up for yourself.

IMO you will feel the 3.9 peppier with ZF, at least if you are not very aggresive with your gear changes on manual. Just kick down and get instant power.
When i changed from lt77 to TF727 on my old 3.5 I felt it as a power increase, because I used more revs and smoother full throttle accelerations.
The power sap figures that circulate are not a very good representation of reality.
'Bout to do the same to my 83 Rangie giving the LT95 the big A, next month sometime. You just can't beat and auto off-road bar the downhill braking issue (not a problem if you know how to drive ).
but I have to buy a clutch for the LT95 ($$$) where as the ZF is ready to go.
and how clean it is hahaha I know you wish it was yours Dave
