Title: V8 transfer box- help needed please
Post by: big tim on February 21, 2009, 21:12:48

can any one help??

Friend has just brought a manual 3.9 v8 5 speed disco which has now developed a problem, which i believe to be the transfer box.

I was wondering will a 300tdi 5 speed manual gear box and transfer box go in without any problems.

Thanks Tim

not sure on the box but the transfer box should exchange . check the ratio though . should be printed on the back of the transfer box just below the level plug.might be worth giving ashcroft transmitions a call ask them ...alan

The oil cooler isn't the problem as it is just a cover plate on a 300TDi.  1st gear is lower and the input shaft is shorter and smaller IIRC.

All transfer boxs are interchangeable though but check for wear on the input gear of earlier T-boxs.
