80's Lincoln Diesel info needed
Got a friend with a old BMW powered Diesel Lincoln (no tranny & good engine) and needs to know what tranny's were used with this rig. Did it use a Ford Auto trans or BMW auto trans? Was there a 5 spd available for this rig in US or a 5 sp that would bolt up to it instead of automatic?
Any info I could pass along would be great.

i think
it was only available in the lincoln with an automatic. i think ford.
but a bmw stick tranny should bolt up. and a clutch assembly from a t bird should bolt in i would think. so he should be able to five speed it. the ds would have to be adapted. but it would prob be a lot cheaper to put in a ford tranny with od. tom w

I could swear they had a ZF 4HP22 behind that diesel, not the EH like in the 745is but the standard shift one. Crap thing about the trans it's geared awful, a 2.47:1 first gear only.
If you toss in a five speed, the 265 Getrag is the stronger one from my memory. I agree with Tom, the T-bird or even a Mustang manual setup should be okay as that LSC is a Fox frame.

Don't forget they love to burn up the forward clutch pack due to stator + input shaft problems. Not to worry, it's a simple fix with new o-rings and a small hole in the clutch housing.
