Guest richardthegardener Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 In my quest to find a decent replacement transfer box, I managed to collect several ebay bargins. Amongst these is a defender LT77 with defender ratio transfer box, defender gear levers, defender spedo cable etc. But, it has a 300mm input shaft and bellhousing, with the clutch slave cylinder on the oposite side to the normal defender position. Any ideas what it fits, I was told it came out of a defender, possibly a 300tdi? (in case you are wondering I baught it for the transfer box) The gearbox is definately not a disco box. Thanks in advance! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Picture? Serial number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richardthegardener Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Will take a pic and find s' no tomorrow, still recovering from getting it out of the back of the 90! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 is that not a 200 tdi disco one you've got yourself there with a input shaft that long a normal defender one is'nt that long is it-then again i'm sure an adult will be along sometime to day to either correct me or even agree with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richardthegardener Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Nope, the rear of the box is definitely defender! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Can you work out the gear gate layout? R-1-3-5 to front and 2-4 to the rear would be LT77 - 200Tdi / V8 1-3-5 to the front and 2-4-R to the rear would be R380 - 300Tdi / V8 What is the diameter of the reduced section on the end of the input shaft? IIRC, ~3/4" (can measure later) would be a 4-cylinder application (Tdi), would have to pull a V8 box out from under the bench to measure that. Again, pic's and serial no would be definitive.

Guest richardthegardener Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Thanks Dave, R,1,3,5 are to the front, so it looks like a LT77 after all! Serial number of the box is 52A0098665D and the gearbox extension is numbered HRC1217. Transfer box ratio is 1:410 Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Its a Diesel input shaft (22mm spigot), with a long diesel bellhousing (ie 300tdi or disco). V8 Spigot is smaller, and the bolt pattern on the housing isnt circular like that. Very strange. D suffix would suggest a very early LT77 (they started on D), and 52A is longstick (ie defender) from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Neale Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 According to Land Rover it's a Range Rover LT77... (so early, long stick box) 52A - D > 77MM 5 SPEED 3.5 V8 RANGE ROVER 1983-85 RANGE ROVER Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Does the fact that the slave cylinder is on the wrong side for a defender tell anything about it? was the slave on the drivers side on the range rover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 It doesnt look like a V8 input shaft or a V8 bellhousing though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Neale Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 It doesnt look like a V8 input shaft or a V8 bellhousing though? I can only go on what the serial number gives me.... it may be a "bitsa" of course... Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richardthegardener Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Another shot of the bell housing if that helps! Thanks again! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
