minivin Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thought it would be better here as it seems a mix of defender or series or something unknown, got a Bellhousing HRC1738, believed to be early 90/110 as it's from a suffix E gearbox: Now!, the adapter ring I got last night doesn't mate-up, got the following hole pattern and is slightly smaller in location hole diamater (313mm appr.): So, which one is correct, is the ring a true Series III 2.25 4 cyl. Gearbox adapter ring, or is the LT77 bellhousing a true early 90/110 item that would affix to a Series III 2.25 4 cyl. engine? <sigh> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I don't know the answer to that question, but i have got a spare 300Tdi to R380 flywheel housing (it's the bit that bolts to the back of the engine block that the gearbox then bolts to, called "housing assembly,clutch", part # ERR4723 maybe it'll fit onto the 2.25? yours for a tenner, and i'll be laning tomorrow evening around the 'plain area, so can drop it off if you think it'll work. cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 i would think the adaptor ring is wrong, def 200tdi bellhousing is same dimensions as series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Cheers Jim, not sure without trying to fit a 300TDi bell housing to a series engine, but IIRC the hole mounting pattern is different Now all I need is definate confirmation, whether my bell housing is correct and that the adapter is definately wrong, and what it is for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Cheers Jim, not sure without trying to fit a 300TDi bell housing to a series engine, but IIRC the hole mounting pattern is different You can mate a 300Tdi to a series box with not too much work apparently. Just need to move a couple of the studs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 You can mate a 300Tdi to a series box with not too much work apparently. Just need to move a couple of the studs etc. hopefully should know by this evening whether the bell housing I have is series-comparable or whether I may need to go down that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Looks to me like you've picked up a 6cyl to V8 conversion plate. You need a 4cyl to V8 conversion plate. Andy Kiff had the same trouble! The 4cyl kit will fit straight to the LT77 bellhousing. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
