Hi I Had a look in workshop manual this morning there was is a auto box for the MQ, but I will have to have spend a bit more time to find if it specificaly was fitted to the SD33 motor. My guesses is yes u can do it as long as the bellhousing will work and u have the transfere case that is drive by a small drive shaft and not bolted directly to the gear box.

Thanks mate, i know the petrol MQ came out with auto but they are a totally different bellhousing to the diesel. If you do find something in the manual please let me know.
Does it say what the lowest diff gears were in the MQ :?:
