Defender struggling

HI FOLKS
WONDER IF SOMEONE CAN HELP..
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2001 TD5 HI CAP AND WHEN IT GETS UP TO ABOUT 55MPH IT REALLY STARTS TO WHINE THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL EXPLODE IF I GO ANY FASTER..
I DRIVE 110S FOR WORK AND YOU CAN PUSH THEM UP TO MOTORWAY SPEEDS..
DO THE HIGH CAPS HAVE A DIFFERENT GEAR RATIO AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT A DISCO GEARBOX IN....
WOULD BE GREATFULL FOR ANY ADVICE
CHEERS.
STEVE:welcome2:

wait for jamesmartin he'll help you he's the best may tell you something you don't want to hear, but he's right on

gearboxes have same ratio .transferbox has different ratios and some times diffs,
