Gonna fit an R380. Just need to find a v8 bellhousing

Aaaaand yet again remember the boxes are not direct swap because the spigot bushes are different sizes, ideally you want a v8 box for immediate fit

R380 and LT77 V8 spec spigot bush is the same size isn't it ?

24mm outer and 21mm inner or something like that ?

Good choice


I'd sell you my recon with brand new bell housing but I needs it as the LT95 isn't re-furbed yet

Already cottoned on to that one

Im just gonna change the input shaft on my current box(as its for a tdi) for the v8 inut shaft rather than mess about with bellhousing spacers/spigot bush machining etc.

Plus it gives me an excuse to overhaul the gearbox anorl

You'll still need a V8 bellhousing


Shaft is £95 from ashcrofts then VAT and delivery IIRC, I looked into this before selling my TDi R380 box and buying a V8 one

I know haha finding one though seems to be a difficult task!

Ah now that makes life easier! Ive been on ebay today and only seen those LT77 ones.

May have to get one see if it does fit! If not i can sell it on again.

 

[jamesmartin]

i do have both r380 input shafts and bell housing

 

[Dr_evil]

Pretty sure it does, check the parts manual and make sure its the same number but pretty sure it is!





Edit; PM JM above

what lt77 bellhousing on an r380 ?

When I was looking at getting one Dave at ashcroft said they were pretty similar, think there was a difference on the dowel or something like that. Deleted the email a while back when I picked up the new gearbox

He may have been on about the stumpy ones though as I was looking at getting a short R380, never asked for clarification as I got the new one with long housing

 

[Mr Noisy]

Sweet, you guys have got this handled

 

[jamesmartin]

no lt77 bellhousing is longer than r380 ,r380 has longer extension case at rear to hold reverse as well as 5th so r380 bellhousing is shorter to make lt77 and r380 the same length overall

 

[Dr_evil]

May be the stumpy he was on about in that case then, my bad



Stumpy is also apparently a landrover original part after doing some reading!

 

[Mr Noisy]

Ashcroft will know.
