can any one tell me a quick way to tel the dif between a lt77 and a r380 box
SOME ONE SED YOU CAN TELL BY THE REVERS GEAR BUT HE DID NOT NO WICH WAS WICH
 
LT77 has reverse up and left, R380 is down and right. R380 is about 3" shorter in overall length as well.
 
ere Take 5
on the lt77/r380 box subject.......
fitting one to a series - yu have to change the props dont ya? Neither are a straight fit are they?
 
From what I recall, rear prop is 3" longer an front one is a bit shorter than normal. If you know a decent fab shop, buy longer ones and they can shorten them for you - not ideal but it works.

From what people tell me, yes it is. From personal experience, I dunno. If I get this 300TDi fer Christmas I'll let you know ;)
 
I think it's called the 380 coz it's rated to 380 nm of torque (or poss lbft, not sure) - with the output of the engine normally around 2/3 of that from memory?. Dunno if that's why the 230's called the 230 though!
 
Mr Grunt posted a good article on this last year. The LT77 is the Leyland Transport 77mm gearbox (77mm between shafts), LT85 is 85mm etc etc
 
the r380 is much better . the lt77 is quite lumpy and very rough . the r380 is nice n smoove and the synchromesh seems alot better
