dooroy Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I have a 2001 Td5 with 206K on the clock and the gearbox is becoming a bit noisy . I feel it's the front bearing in the gearbox but due to the high miles I was thinking a SH box would be my best option . When I go looking for a box I would like to know if the D2 box remained the same from 99 when they were introduced up th 04 when the D3 arrived on the scene ? Or even if the D1 box , being an R380 , would fit. Advice greatly appreciated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The D1 box won't without some surgery (input shaft and bellhousing). I think any Td5 box will fit any engine as a "black box swap" but not sure if there were any developments along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vougese39 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 as with most things land rover aim for a late box as this will have any mods that land rover did before stopping making them but yes a td5 box from 99 to 03 are all the same. the v8 is a different ratios so will not drive too well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The V8 input shaft and bellhousing is also completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooroy Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for your replies - will see how 'new' a box I can find . Land Rovers are not that plentiful over here and so SH parts not easily come by . May have to go to NI to get one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landkeeper Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 ring jonathan on 0579336862 crozier 4x4 he can get you a recon ashcroft box without you losing your shirt or alternatively he has a friend who is a wizard at rebuilding if you can wait a day or two get it back on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooroy Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks landkeeper - a few days wait would be no problem . Don't know anyone around here who does gearboxes ; will give jonathan a ring . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just ring Ashcrofts. They have sent gearboxes to the Falklands so just a short hop across the water isn't going to cause major difficulties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
