James is right and here is a statement from a forum to support it :
" If you still want to try, your best bet is the Kenko 1.4x Teleplus Pro 300 DG Teleconverter that sells for approx. $200. With the 2X converter you lose too much light and AF rarely works even in good light." see this site
Perhaps the next statement from the same forum is equally discouraging :
" The use of a TC will reduce IQ some and with a lens like yours it could be painful. You also need to consider that a 1.4x TC reduces your exposure by 1 stop and a 2x TC by 2 stops. The Nikon focus system specifies an effective maximum aperture of f 5.6 and as your lens is f 5.6 before you add a TC , you will be out of spec for auto focus. This does not mean that auto focus will not work, it may work very slowly or not at all."
Lastly, most of the TCs are designed for lenses without built in motors. see here .
If you use it for D40, ......... it will not autofocus.
