UdderlyOffroad Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi chap(ette)s My first foray into this area of the forum. Whilst I’m relatively au fait with the various Defender gearbox options – the Disco ones are new to me. I’ve tried the “site:lr4x4.com google search” trick but I get lost in a quagmire of Defender-related threads… So, as per the title really. Will a cogbox from a (dead) 300 Tdi fit into a 200 Tdi-powered truck. Bearing in mind that if necessary I can remove the bell-housing off the 300 Tdi too? Ta, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yes is the simple answer, both boxes are the same length on a Disco. Not done it but I think you will need to alter a few studs/bolts on the bottom of the bell housing but that should be all (or change bell housings!)

wizard Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The 300 box will bolt straight on. You will need the hand brake cable from the 300 and the speedo connector off the 200. The 300's speedo is electric and the 200's mechanical but the two types are interchangerble. wizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UdderlyOffroad Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks guys. Will be dropping the box from the 300 tomorrow then! The 300 box will bolt straight on. You will need the hand brake cable from the 300 and the speedo connector off the 200. The 300's speedo is electric and the 200's mechanical but the two types are interchangerble. wizard Just the cable? I ask because I was going to use the lever in my Defender as I don't like the standard fit item.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You'll want the 300 gearbox crossmember too You can swap that too as the bolt holes exsist in both......on the transfer box IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
