300 Tdi Gearbox Swap Out

Happy New Year all

Am about to embark upon a gearbox swap out.

Obviously will do the clutch and HD Fork while I'm at it and replacee the front and rear oil seal and gasket

Anything else I should be replacing whilst I'm at it? Specifcally are there any oil seals at the back of the engine worth doing whilst the clutch is off?

Had a search but only found reference to the front and rear oil seals and spigot bush

Oh, and the only clutch fork I can find (FTC2957HD) is Britpart branded - presume their supplier can weld

Just fitted the HD arm kit to my Defender along with the clutch. The arm and welding looked fine to me. If you get the kit it comes with the clips and pivot pads etc. Think it also came with a new spigot bush too.

Thanks Kes - which brand clutch did you go for? Was the kit STC8358?

Ta

Yes I did get the STC 8358

you pay your money and take your choice, but its a lot of work to re-do for a cheaper clutch.

Not something that would even cross my mind to scrimp on

Not sure if its in the kit, but the spigot bearing in the end of the crank is worth doing while its apart. Especially if the gearbox is out the way.
