Hi all
Just in the throws of cobbling together a spare s3 box out of various scrap
ones I seem to have accumulated over the years (like you do). The question I
have for the font of all land rover knowledge is are the layshafts
interchageable from the various suffix boxes ?

Thanks in advance

Icky

Yes and no. At least one will fit another suffix box, but will make
a horrible din. In theory, the suffix letter should be stamped on the
shaft.

If you search for "layshaft" (no quotes) on the site below you should be
able to find the various options.

No. Suffix A, B and C boxes have different layshafts.

Reverse gear & shaft was modified, suffix B boxes onwards

1st gear was modified for suffix C boxes and again for suffix D

2nd gear is different C to D
3rd is different C to D
3rd/4th Synchro cluster is different between C and D

Good luck!

Hi Richard
the shaft that needs replacing is stamped "D" but the box it came from is
suffix b ? I gues its been rebuilt at some point with a load of new bits

It certainly sounds like it. Assuming the box was ok I'd stick with what's
in there rather than what should be - at the very least it'll avoid
confusion. The different lay shafts etc are noticably different when
viewed side by side, so sorting through your "collection" should be ok.
