<< < (2/2)

biggerlandy:
i dont understand what you mean about mounts on gearbox so you  can use defender gearbox i dont want to use defender gearbox i want to put disco gearbox in   dont worry new clucth going in and engine is striped down at mo to replace all seals etc

stuntman:
Hello chap.

I did use a new 300tdi defender master sylinder and the disco clutch pipe, worked fine.

I also used the disco r380 gearbox. You will need to unbolt the defender's existing crossmember and swap it for the disco's one, so you can mount the disco bearbox.

Sorry I may not have made that too clear.

i take it in using disco crossmember the gearsticks line up in normal hole in gearbox tunnel

stuntman:
No mate.

You will need to fabricate a new tunnel, I chopped up the old one and fibre glassed it over.

You need to use the disco gearbox crossmember as the disco gearbox will not fit onto the defender crossmember.

So, disco engine box and trans box, will fit with the disco gearbox cross member and the disco engine mounts. You will also need to lower the radiator mounts.

biggerlandy:
ok cheers
