simonb Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Bell housing and hence input shaft on the Td5 are much longer so it won't fit. If you want a R380 you need the short bell housing version which are like rocking horse poo. The TDi boxes have shorter bellhousings and input shafts than the TD5 but still too long for a TD.
