After installing the new gearbox this (coming from harness) cable is left over and I just can't fint where it's suppose to go. Any ideas?

Yes, it's still labeled on the box upon delivery but on their faq they now changed to dexron. Also got that confirmed from dave ashcroft via email

Well, mad I am but that's another story :) thanks so much for all help!

Ok, I've installed my Ashcroft R380 and filled it up with Dexron III according to Ashcrofts recommendation. They say they find Dexron III to be better than MTF94. Gearing is a little notchy, and there is vibration while driving (I feel it by holding the gear lever) Is this normal? Must admit i...

That's right no problems after that! Could this also be an earth point for the fuel pump? Maybe the problem was that the vibration while driving caused the earth wires to disconnect/connect hence the fuel pump only was operation "randomly"? In my Hanyes manual there is wiring schematics and...

Ok, it's these two black cables attached to the transfer box

Thanks! I will post a photo!

My 90 td5 died on the highway after about 1 hour of driving. Before that the engine sounded like it didn't get the fuel required. Water sensor, left indicator flicker on the dashboard. Several attempts to restart drained the battery. A kind man stopped and offered help, he was a mechanic...

This is what I got in reply from Ashcroft: Hi, You can use either, we find a good Dextron 3 is better, I am not sure about the redline MTL Dave

Just got my R380. Ashcroft recommends Dexron III för the gearbox. Would this one do the job? http://www.biltema.se/sv/Bilvard/Olja-och-Smorjmedel/Hydraul--och-transmissionsolja/Transmissionsolja-2000028186/ I've read about the redline MTL, but it costs 4 times more...

Yep, the blue one for 2000 sek :)

Thanks for all of your replies! I will borrow or buy a crane!

So my new R380 gearbox just arrived from Ashcroft and I'm now doing some research for the swap procedure. According to Haynes manual it's recommended to use a workshop crane inside the vehicle as well as a jack underneath. Does anyone have "hack" instead of using a crane? (since I have to...

Yes, that's what I thought lower profiles would achieve, more sideways stability. But it doesn't seem to be worth it considering the cons listed above!

Aha, so it's best to stick to 85 then...
