Badger90 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 sorry. they are a rear box.. well thats what they said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 sorry. they are a rear box.. well thats what they said Rare, as in; not common. They were fitted to a few range rovers way back when. I've one in the shed I was going to fit to a tdi 200 + R380 series (with series diffs), so I could run a high ratio "HI" box and a very low ratio "LO" box. G.

Range Rover Blues Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 AFAIK it was fitted to the 3 speed Chrysler auto box which was top-direct and had no overdrive like the LT77 and 4 speed auto. Effectively with that t box the auto had no 1st compared to the 4 speed. the gerabox is very strong but a bit "agricultural". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
