antony110 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi can anyone help? Is a range rover r380 gear box the same as a defender r380? Due to the fact Range rover and discovery were basically the same apart from body style I'm thinking not and will be the same as a 300tdi discovery, Any one know for sure? Also is there any different in the engines? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antony110 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Cheers Fridge Freezer So I take it I can not use the range rover r380 as a straight swap for my defender r380 then? I presumed the range rover 300 tdi will go in my 300 tdi defender but will have to swap exhaust manifold ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Ashcroft sell a conversion kit, the differences between the boxes (both R380 and LT77 flavours) have been discussed here several times before if you can persuade the search function to find it.

Snagger Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I stand to be corrected, but the R380 is the same in both except for the extended selector housing and short lever on the RR/Disco version and the "stumpy" version with short bell housing and input pinion is a special for retrofit in Defenders fit with LT77s. The engine will be the same unless it came from a RR/Disco with cruise control, in which case the injection pump will have an electronic rather than mechanical throttle mechanism.
