I am running a 200tdi in our 109 and want to upgrade the gearbox. The 200tdi is sitting on the origional engine mounts.
I do not want to move the engine 4inch forward.
So let us assume I will use a defender short bell house , not a Stumpy, a defender LT77, an Ashcroft converstion kit and finally the standard series transfer case.
Am I correct that the HI-LO and 2wd/4wd levers will have to be slightly altered to keep them on their origional lications?
Does the main gear lever fit the series location or doe I have to modify the cover?
As to the gearbox crossmember, I am planning to cut the standard member away and place a leightweight or RR bolt-on version.
Obviously, the propshafts will be modified as well.
Am I overseeing any pitfalls or other please do not's or you will regrets?
