I did very similar to you and bought a S3 that needed work for cheap

Assuming its the landy gearbox then I have used these guys before and they were good (Vic)

Four Wheel Drives - Land Rovers New and Used Spare Parts - Home

I have just rebuilt the gearbox on mine and I did the clutch at the same time. I have to say I underestimated the time it took as I had to take the seat box and floor out to remove the gearbox through the passenger door. Still I am new to the game so maybe there is any easier way to do the clutch.

Good luck with that anyway

Cheers

A

While you have the gearbox out cut the cross member out from the top so the cuts are are straight down on the inside of the chassis,then weld some 6mm plate on the ends so that it goes over the bit of cross member left on the chassis then drill 2 holes in each end on a diagonal then cut some plate to go inside the bit left on the chassis.Hold the cross member up & mark then drill all holes to suit .weld nuts to the bit that wll go in the chassis bits & tack in, then put the cross member back up to check everything fits ok..then it becomes a bolt in cross member....Thats what i did i now can take my gearbox out with out removing the floor or seat box..Much quicker.. Hope that helps..

Actually you can do the clutch without removing the gearbox completely by moving it back as far as it goes (just). You still need to remove the seat box though. Did this in the middle of the Simpson Desert 45 years ago.

wow thanks for the advice and photos banjo. Appreciate it. Might be something worth considering. Maybe not on this clutch change, but down the track if I decided to rebuild this, or another landy later in life.

Still haven't had a chance to strip the body work and inspect the chassis on my current beast to determine if it's even worth working on. The firewall is shot, I know that, but haven't been able to inspect everything else.
Don't have the room to pull her apart.

w00t. Getting some nice tyres for the beast tomorrow hopefully. Local guy is selling 4 desert duelers that are the right size for a very good price. Not brand new, but close enough. Finally, some half decent traction. Pics tomorrow. Hopefully.

Planning on changing all the drivetrain oil on the beast tomorrow. Looking at using Mild EP Penrite gear oil as recommended on this site. Was reading up on the technical info for this oil on the Penrite homepage and came across this:

"Use with caution if the oil is likely to come in
contact with water."

Is this anything to be concerned with? River crossings and all.

Hey Jason,
I notice you have fitted a powersteering setup, I checked out your photobucket link and am wondering if you have a thread on the mods? What are the make and details on the column, pump, shafts and relay? I have plans to do the same mod one day, but would like to be as prepared with information before I pull the ute to bits
Thanks in advance for any help,
Nathan

Don't worry, i found the thread, thanks
