carlosbeldia Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This is a S2A. As you can see, it has all three levers as any series, the transfer is the same, but the gearbox is different. It came as original item in the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondjeremy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think its a late Santana built Series Land Rover box - probably S3 spec. There was something about them on S2 club some years ago. I think its internals are much the same as standard. (But there are 4 specs of S3 box - with the last one having coffin-shaped engagement teeth to help secure gear engagement.)

carlosbeldia Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 No, Santana Syncro is different from this. It looks very similar to LT85, but is not. Do you know about any military specs gearbox for Series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It is a late Santana built series 3 gearbox, suffix D it should be as regards internals. One of the traders was selling them a few years ago brand new as he had bought a job lot of NOS clear out, possibly MOD stock. A very good friend of mine bought one for his 109" and it was very nice to use but failed due to a flaw in the mainshaft steel resulting in the rear threaded section falling off. So at some point I have to replace the mainshaft for him when we get the chance to sort his 109". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriebil.dk Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Santana series gearbox Suffix D Internals - the outer ribs are said to give the box more strength, and should cope better with stronger engines, Santana did a 6 pot diesel etc. on that gearbox.

Phil Hancock Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I recall looking at 6 pot Santana's and the gearbox was a different box to a series and I don't just mean that it was ribbed, LT85 comes to mind as Santana did that in 4 pot flavour.
