R380 Gear box

Will a TD5 Discovery manual gearbox fit a 300 TDI Discovery and are the gear ratios the same?
If the imput shaft is different is that easily swapped over?

To make certain u have to do some research .....there are 4 types of R380 gearboxes with some differences between them .........look for yourself: http://www.roversclub.org/docs/R380_Gearbox_Overhaul_Manual.pdf then see what type u have and what type is the Td5 one's and if they fit.

Maybe u'll be lucky to get a smarter answer from someone who did that kind of swap..........i didnt, so that's why i can't help u more on this

Thanks for the reply.
The reason I am asking is because my r380 main shaft splines are badly worn and the td5 gearbox is local to me.
Cheers
