Hello

I am sitting here in Baraquilla/Columbia at Iguana4x4 with a broken 4HP22 stage 2 (large TC) gearbox on my 200TDI Defender.
A transmsission shop here tried already 3 times to fix the box, but it always failed during the test drive for various reasons.
We have got now a stock 4HP22 with the normal medium TC which we might could use as an repalcement. But this means I need a new flex plate/fly wheel to connect the TC to the engine.
I am flying over today to Miami and Atlanta region to spend the Easter Holidays there and therefore was wondering if anybody knows where I could find such a flex pate in that area or even may have one.
We couldn't find one here in Columbia as there were no Defender or Disco 3.9/4.0. And shipping one from Ashcroft would be an option too but takes longer of course.

kind regards

Andreas

I don't have much to offer aside to say that Ashcroft is familiar and comfortable with shipping there. I had them ship me stuff there and in Panama and they were good about it. I hope you do find one locally as it gets expensive to ship one in.

Another option that you may have already considered is contacting legion Land Rover club. I think they are mostly more southern and they don't do a ton of defender stuff but that's where local connections might be made.
