Has any body fitted a Dtronics unit to a manual 100 series TD. If so does it reduce the turbo lag when towing heavy loads. eg. 2 ton. At present I am having trouble getting off the mark especially on a
hill start. At this rate I will soon be replacing a clutch.
Thanks,
John.

John,
Haven't had pleasure to drive a 100 series TD more than 4 or 5 clicks, but did find it better than our 80 series TD. An acquaintance said the 100's make the 80's seem like a bulldozer!
We recently picked up a 79 series turbo work ute, and it pulls from idle, right up to 140kph - am told they'll do 160. The torque seems to be more even right across the rev range, heaps better than the 80. Still has that hit in the back, at near 2,000rpm.
The Dtronic might be the way to go, hope you haven't got a slug.
Hooroo...
