my td5 box is noisy in 5th and its showing signs of heavy towing, ie drive train slap. she as done 196thou question is, can i just bolt a R380 300tdi gearbox to my transfer box, or is it not that simple?

thing is, i only paid £1000 for the thing and dont fancy spending £500 on a gearbox. thanks in advance.

boxes arent interchangeable but many parts are ,if its only noisy in 5th it could be repaired without full strip down

if you do have a go after draining stand bell housing down on 2 bits of wood etc so input shaft is clear ,after removing collar there are 10 bolts holding rear housing to box plus 1 interlock help by 10mm headed bolt ,case will then tap off
