reb78 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 The stumpy R380’s are around £1000. Bristol Transmissions gave me everything for a tad less than that, including the bellhousing and the release bearing and new release arm. I highly recommend them - their service was very good.

DC_ Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Thanks for the info boys, something to look into for sure. Is there a massive difference with the R380 in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 I did it because it seemed like a sensible upgrade and also gave me the option to add a cooler to the transmission. Truthfully, a good shifting LT77 and the R380 probably arent that far apart. With my original LT77 before I bought the disaster box that started this thread shifted smoothly and didnt have the issues that some report (the output shaft splines had nearly worn down to nothing otherwise I wouldnt have changed it!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
