so i have just bought a td42 engine to replace my zd30 and the zd30 has a has a clutch and flywheel that is only about 10000ks old and i would just like to know if the flywheel and clutch or at least the clutch and pressure plate will fit on the td42?

Yeah that's what I thought. But as long as the input shafts are the same I should be able to slide the zd30 box onto the 42 providing I drill the hole out for the starter

Going by the Clutch industries website.

The specs from the 07 ZD30 clutch are 275mm x 24T x 25.5
06 TD42 clutch are 275mm x 24T x 25.5
90 TD42 clutch are 275mm x 24T x 25.5

So if this is correct I should be able to bolt the ZD30 gearbox up to the 4.2, and if the only difference in the bell housings is the starter motor mount which is minimal. happy days.

nice to read: last year i converted a rd28 to td42T in my 98 Y61 GR.....had some issues but worked all out except speedo and tachometer., and this weekend i have to pull out an zd30 and replace it with a td42 in my other 01 Y61 GR , all manual, so i am also wondering about the clutch/ flywheel option.
a friend of mine switched a zr30 auto for a td42 and bolted it on to the zd30 auto box, he had to widen the holes for the startermotor and move the engine mounts to the front and shift the matic box a few cm's back....

Are zd30 start motor and the td42 start motor interchangeable as well?

the zd30 needs 3 holes drilled for the starter not 1 and the old zd lugs cut off and smoothed a bit

the zd and n/a td42 share the same crank pcd

I believe the pressure plate ect are the same as td42

I cant see y you would want to use the zd30 flywheel apart from its there I cant see why it wouldent work it should work the same but being a dual mass I wouldent use it
