Did someone quote that the GU 3.0Di has the same gearbox as the 4.2 TD-6 in an earlier post?

Thanks Dunny. That's interesting. I never knew that as I know the RD28 had a lighter box. Obviously this was upgraded with the increase in power and torque.

Thats right, dual mass flywheel on ZD30. Also leaf spring utes are the only one with differant main shaft ratio in manual trans.
