Short bellhousing R380 gearbox for a 200TDI
Ashcroft Transmissions sent me the following when I asked them about replacing my 200TDI Gearbox and Transfer box ( I have an LT77 and a military 1.667 ration Transfer box)
"you have a few options with the mainbox and the transfer case,
mainbox :
you can either stick with the LT 77 which we are able to supply at £ 550,
rebuilt, outright or we have in stock the short bellhousing R 380 made to
replace the LT77 at £ 825, new crated, outright, these are the latest suffix
L type, you also have option of fitting an oil cooler to the R 380 which
would be beneficial in hot environments,
transfer case :
if you have the 1.667 now I think it would be safer to fit the 1.410 which
is 15% higher in high range, the disco 1.222 ratio will be 30% higher and
this may be a little too much in a loaded 110,"
Does anybody have an knowledge or advice regarding the short bellhousing R380?
Assuming it's better than a LT77?
