you would need to change input shaft and bell housing
how hard is it to change the input shaft as i only seem to be able to get tdi boxes at a fair price.

i dont have new box yet only ones that i can get quickly are the tdi ones, no point in having to strip a new box, would be just as well fixing old one,not keen on taking box to bits lol, prob a bit beyond my skills

If both the LT77 and the R380 are fitted to the same engine from a Discovery then they are a nut and bolt straight swap. You will have to swap over speedo sender housing and handbrake as they both differ between the two boxes.
