Disco Gearbox in a Defender? LT77 or R380?

<< < (2/2)

Matt_H:
sorry to hijack, but is it possible to fit an R380 defender box onto an early 200tdi which would normally have the LT77 box?  

I'm thinking about it as my gearbox is on it's last legs (jumps out of reverse all the time) and is notchy etc (well just like a land rover LT77 really) just I don't want to be withotu the day it goes.

Can it be bolted straight onto the bell housing and the transfer box as is?

Finally, is there any benefit to doing it?

the benefit is you wont get reverse instead of 1st when the reverse lock gets warn lol, need a few answers first tho........... what engine is it going to be mated to 200tdi....300tdi, if 300 then yes....if 200 then no because the mainshaft is longer  :shock: just easier to fit another lt77

extreme90:
o and if it is a defender that you are fitting it to which i am not sure on as you havent stated unless i am being blinde and missed it lol then it will push the engine 5 inches forward as the bellhousing is longer than a defender lt77 bellhousing, so the engine will be sitting where a 300tdi sits

R380 defender box onto a defender 200tdi in a defender 90...

I know the lt77 disco shaft is longer than a defender lt77, but wasn't sure when it came for defender to defender lt77 to R380.

no it puts the gearbox 5 inches further back,thus the whole point of fitting one to a defender so its closer to hand
