Am i right in thinking if you swap the shifter housing on a LT77 from a disco 200 Tdi to a defender type that you can fit a disco box one in a defender?

I thought the input shafts were different lengths, much shorter on a 200tdi Defender?

bellhousing and input shaft on a diesel Disco is pretty much same as V8 on Defender/rangie, also the gearchange shaft inside the main case is different as the Def has like a "C" clasp, while the Disco has a nylon bushed ball like the receptacle on the Defender gearchange extensions front end.

Second from right, Disco gearchange linkage:



Gearchange Rod different to take this, trapped by grub screw

Defender "throw forward" gearchange mechanism has this retained by a mills pin:

As Rob says - selector shafts within the box are totally different. Some of the internals are interchangeable and it's possible to change one over by stripping both boxes, but no its not a straight forward swap!
