(1/3) > >>

jay2578:
right guys, got a tidy 300tdi engine for £100 and now i need to know........ will i need a 300 gearbox or will mine fit? any mods required i.e engine mounts etc???

disco2 td5:
i know that the gear box bolts stright up so thats the same i dont know about the rest of it tho

jay2578:
jut been told i need the r380 gearbox??? any clarification?

disco2 td5:
in the 200 tdi the gear box is 4 up 2 down (r,1,3,5 at the top  2,4 at the bottom)  were the 380 is 3 up 3 down  they both fasten on to a bellhousing so should be a stright swap which ever gearbox you have the only difference is they will have different ratios in and if what ive heard is true the r380 is alot stronger gearbox the easest way to be sure the engine will fit in and not need different mounts will be remove the old engine and put it next to ur new engine and mesure up the distances between the rear of theengine and the mouting holes in the block if they are the same just chuck it in prob will be some wireing to be changed

barmiebrumie:
Either box will fit either engine with a bit of swapping bolts about, you will need to re-weld engine mounts on the chassis though, think from memory the 300 are further forward,
