blz6662 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Hi All, I've got a completely rebuilt R380/LT230 gearbox (by Ashcofts) to replace my worn out LT77 box. The R380 is from a V8 3.9 Disco 1 (97) and the RRC is 1988 EA Chassis and I was thinking due to the R380 being 30mm longer will this affect the propshaft lengths? I can't seem to find a sensible answer to this. Some say the front is the same but as my Rangie is lifted I don't want issues. Over to you guys with the knowledge. Cheers Baden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 R380 + its bellhousing comes out to the same length as LT77 + its bellhousing as far as I'm aware. Meant LR didn't need to move anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blz6662 Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 Thanks Fridge Freezer, That makes sense (for once). When I get a chance I'll measure them. regards Baden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blz6662 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hi guys, Measured the R380 from front of bell housing to the face of the transfer box rear output shaft and got 950mm (give or take a couple). Did the same with the LT77 in the vehicle (V8 by the way) and got the same measurement, so thanks again Fridge for you knowledge. Over thinking things again! Cheers all Baden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
