LT77 Jumps out of Backwards

All the time.

Also when I fitted a discotheque tranny I noted the 77 output shaft is well manked.

What's my best option.

Is it worth getting a short R380 from crofts - not that i can afford 1 at 950 squids.

nooooooooooooooo just look out for another GB/TB combo - or if your good at mechano replace the shaft

Yeah I can do mechano. I imagined though that a whole bunch of pullers and presses and other special tools would be needed to get it all apart and back together again.

pullers and presses = hammers and ingenuity

there really isn't much involved in rebuilding either a landy GB or tranny box - i reckon you'd have change out of a ton replacing the output shaft and all of the bearings of a tranny box - or if you like a bet buy a cheap GB/tranny combo off ebay

but if you've got a grand burning a hole in your pocket and you want to keep your hands free give Mr Ashcroft a ring as it's this time of year that he usually books his annual 6 weeks in Costa Del Expensiveo

Ok perhaps I'll have a go.

I'm sure my tranny is ok.

I clearly need an output shaft for the 77 (would that be the main or lay or neither?) , but do we know what's causing the box to jump out of reverse?

Thanks for the help.

thanks for the offer. I don't think i need the tranny box though.

skan 4x4. Warwick is your man. he is a disco breaker but last time i was there he had 4 defenders as well, I paid 60 for a transfer box.

Ok I'll check it out.

Last thing I bought from a breaker was a "superb low mileage" 200tdi engine for £250 which turned out to be £250 of scrap iron - still in the garage corner.

So with breakers , it's a once bitten thing for me.....

just from personal experience he has never done me any harm.

anybody converted an R380 to short shaft?
