maxtherotti Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi all I have recently got myself a late disco 1 auto v8 and would rather it was a manual So my question is will a box from a tdi be ok? Also once in would my props be ok or are they different lengths? Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The bellhousing will be a different bolt pattern on the tdi so the gearbox won't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 V8 lt77 combos did leave the factory, if you can get hold of the right flywheel housing and flywheel from those, they should fit an r380 with the moving of a stud or 2?

dave88sw Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The input shafts are a different diameter. You need to find a v8 disco r380. They're quite rare but they are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Aside from bellhousing and input shaft differences, the gear ratios are marginally different. All gears except 4th are higher on the V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
