lt77 box......

ok,lt77 box is ****e and i want to fit my old 4 speed.
Looking at my old box off the V8 id say there was more alloy in the bellhouseing than the entire lt77 box.
Q. Can i get a conversion plate

I also wondered if i band sawed the old bell house and welded it to the lt77 bell it would be strong enough?

Shud be no need BoB. Aint the ally cased one the Santana box? Ashcrofts have the definitive guide.

not bovvered bout fuel economy as its a shed full of saws and shovels.
Just dont want to strip input shalft when bouncing on the end of a chain pullin tree over.

Hilux "snapped" doing that but me old series diddnt.Lost 2k on slitty that day.Shudda taken the series.JP said it when i arrived on site.He had his but had to go.

:hijacked: similar question i got chance of a 3.6 6cyl vm turbo diesel lump (as my 200 is about dead ) with a range 4 speed slushbox i would prefer manual so will the lt77 on my disco fit the same as the slushbox bell housing? also does the torque converter mount onto same holes as the clutch cover plate would?

in a word NO!

4 speeds are bullet proof only fitted to early V8's,
Lt77's were fitted to various 4cyl From the early 90's through to 200tdis disco and defenders aswell as V8's but different input shaft length and bellhousings obviously.

so ive an early 4 speed box.shall i keep it and fit then?

does it have a transferbox al in one? if so its the early box. I think it has a vacume operated difflock? Its deffo not a series box you have mistaken for a V8 one?
