hi folks just a little question do all disco 1 200tdi gear boxes crunch slightly when changing down or up to second gear? or do I need to be almost stoped before I change to second? do I need to be looking out for a Good second hand box?
-
The LT77 (fitted to the 200 TDI) suffered from poor lubrication which can be solved by a crossdrilled mainshaft. Then again, mine's a 300 and has always taken a bit of effort to get into 2nd when cold, it seems to be a standard thing.

2nd gear on any box is usually the one that suffers form worn Synchro, it has the hardest life.

I'm selling a complete gear box for a 200tdi,doesn't crunch at all in any gear,its got to be one of the best,
also the new disco i picked up yesterday doesent crunch either :-k

Do an oil change on it, probably hasn't been changed in ages

I don't think that's connected to the crunching. Later LT77 gearboxes denoted LT77S had the lubrication problem fixed.

Give it a good couple of oil changes over the next couple of months and it should help
