Did you get to the bottom of this? I have just put one of these 5 speed kits on an r380 and I have a similar problem at low speed. cheers

Perfect, thank you both. I will give this a whirl and see how it goes. Yes I read this only after I fitted it however :-/..... Anyway, I have high hopes. It’s a good box and should with a bit of fettling work well! I’ll report back. Ignore the gear stick I will flip it, cut it and make another in the shape of the series cheers.

In the Ashcroft FAQ page. It states this bell housing can be mated to the 300tdi. https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions/r380-faq-s.html

Hey Mav, I am currently mating a 300tdi with a r380 and stubby Ashcroft bell housing into my 2A. I have a standard 300tdi clutch, pressure plate and release bearing. Obviously my existing pushrod from my discovery doner is too long. Am I correct in stating if I shorten my clutch slave push Rod to 65mm exactly it should work? Despite having the standard 300tdi release bearing. Appreciate the help, I can’t believe more people have not run into this problem. I also can not believe Ashcroft does not state these problems on their website. Cheers. bill
