Anybody fit a disco 200tdi transfer box to a defender 200tdi
Disco 90 george:
Fits like a glove ! If i was you i would put a cross drilled input shaft in it at the same time. I did a 200tdi coversion 6 weeks ago but i didn't know about the input shaft at the time. For your info the oil can't get to the shaft from the gearbox and it wears out the spline on the end.

Having put 235/85s on my RRC I'd say think twice before changing the transfer box ratio. It's not as bad on the TDi with a lower 1st gear but on the V8 it's definitely like setting off in 2nd and very easy to overheat the clutch. If I had the time I'd be fitting a Defender T-Box or swapping the diff ratios (my lockers need rebuilding).
Also I find it hard to stay in 5th even with a 3.9, if I'm towing then forget it, 4 speeds is all you can use.

This RATIO COMPARISON may help you decide.
Putting a disco t/box in will not effect the low range but will gear up the high ratio. If you have large tyres you may struggle to turn the wheels in the higher gears. ;)
