300 TDI R380 Gbox in a 200TDI

--- Quote from: "petergalileo" ---Why would you want to change an LT77 for an R380 ? I have seen and heard of all sorts of problems with R380s, they all crunch, knock and bang and the gearstick looks like the centre console is very very excited  :oops:

There are LT77s out there on 1/2 million miles and still going, I dont think I have ever seen one seriously break down, no special oil required, some I have had came with virtually no oil ! Rarely if ever overheat and the gearshift sits in a much better position.

Stick with the 77 !!!

You may all now begin flaming away !

errm  :roll:  R380's are way stronger than a lt77  :roll:
they only suffer from stiff gearchanges 1st 2nd, which when the box eventualy dies some time after a lt77 would  :roll:, and you have to replace it, if you use ashcrofts, they have eliminated this problem in all there recon box's

MY DISCO IS a  R380 & 200 Tdi in a v8 N reg body fits in alright just the air filter box needs changing , or a turbo and manifold from 300Tdi bolting on 200Tdi block to make things easy.
