time to change the gearbox

disco dan · Sep 10, 2007

i've put up with the knackered gearbox for about 7 months and 6-7000 miles, it's just got much worse, so the time has come to replace it, reading through the magazine adverts i have come across a few different suppliers and big differences in the price, from £375 inc VAT to well over £500, can anybody give me some advice, i don't want to spend more than i need to , but is the cheaper one false economy? they all seem to have 12 month warranty

Ashcroft Transmissions

Never heard a bad word said about them

buy cheap buy twice

Yeah thats true, Ashcrofts are the best for landy transmissions.

Might wanna think about getting your t-case re-conned at the same time, while they have the gearbox out.

Having an R380 done by ashcrofts will cost you near enough a grand though.

Mine went "pop" in August and can highly recomend these people up North after phoning everwhere they were the only people to be able to deliver & collect in France!

£450 + vat for a R380 recon box, they also put a new "crossed drill pinion" that can be goosed in the transfer box and would only charge me if I needed it! which I did and makes a lot of difference, better drive,lot less "clonky"

Good Luck
