LT77 to R380

<< < (2/2)

Porny:
I must admit - in a Defender (disco is different) - I thought to fit a R380 to a 200Tdi (in place of a LT77s) you need a short bellhousing version of the R380 - not the normal 300 or Td5 variety.

Finding one of these second hand will be harder than finding an LT77!!!

Best bet would be to speak to Ashcrofts - http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk

I wouldn't have said so if I hadn't have done it.  :twisted:
Yes the input shafts are a different length. That's why the bell housings are different.

Bellhousings could be the tip of the iceberg - from memory the floorpans are different as well.

I was involved in fitting a 2.8tgv into a 90 that was originally nat/as, so same fllorpan as yours and we had to change tunnel and floor!!

I'd carry on searching for a good lt77.

Good luck

ken110:
rather scary but 5th seems to be better than ever and 3rd to secons seems to be back to normal....no idea why or more importantly how this has happened :oops:

anyway my next job is swapping the bulkhead which should be a nice easy stress free job  :shock:  

cheers for the help guys
