Timmy511 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 how do you convert a disco r380 box to a defender one? everything is the same from what i can gather bar from the shifter mechanism, i hear you can swap them, is it easy or do you need to strip the box to do it? im in new zealand atm and trying to help my mate fix my ibex back home, hes looking after her and its lost 5th and reverse, broken layshaft from what i can gather from the ashcroft website. easiest option seems to be a replacement box but a defender box is like finding a needle in a hay stack! any halp much apreciated. cheers, tim.

carl hurst Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think the input shaft and bell housing may be to long, Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtrans Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, assuming the boxes are off the same engine you will have to swap the selector shaft and the yolk at the end of the selector shaft as well as the top housing, you will have to strip the box to change this shaft, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
