jad Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 This has been covered so many times. it is possible but the gear stick and transfer box lever are in the wrong place. you would have to cut a chunk out of the seat box for them to come into the cab. like this http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/disco-gearbox-into-defender-98016.html the pictures show it well that was the second search result on google!

craig Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 yeah and if you read the post you linked to the guy is asking for a definite answer......the same as him i have googled but cant find the answer. i thought the r380 in a defender and disco were the same length , so im confused. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I did read it and 2 people told him the gearbox sticks would be further back coming out of the seat box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 so if i move the engine forward as i have to fabricate new mounts would the sticks come out of the tunnel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 you will not be able to move the engine forward any further as the 300 already sits right behind the radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 As Jad says, with the engine as far forward as it will go, the gearstick will come out through the seatbox if you use the discovery item. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
