Defender 300tdi gearbox.

Jamesjude · Nov 16, 2014

Hi all. Just got myself a defender 300tdi truck cab, it needs a new gearbox fitting and just need to know if a disco r380 box is the same or can be made to fit? Cheers guys.

yes, but it's easier to fit a defender.

have a read Ashcroft Transmissions

Don't supose you know a good place to get a second hand box from do you? Seen a really cheap disco box that's why I was asking. Are the ratios the same in both boxes?

reading via the linky. v8's have a higher 5th.

how cheap? you can pick up good r380s secondhand for 40+

if you want something longer term, then reconditioning your current box might be a better option.

Hmm think I'll try sorce a second hand box to see me through then can rebuild the one I have over the winter. You know anywhere other than ebay for second hand boxes? Cheers for help.

10 minute job to convert a disco box with Ashcroft kit. Done it last week on mine.

Just bought a disco box for £21 off ebay. I'll soon find out if it's a dog or not.
