Reassembling the RRC LSE with the rebuilt R380/Lt230t combo after destroying it with 5th gear towing and I’ve lost the slave cylinder push rod
Can anyone help with dimensions please ? Need to finish installation tomorrow ...
The replacement gearbox is an R380 k suffix from a V8 rebuilt with an Ashcroft kit, so I’ve had a new sintered bronze bush made to suit the smaller diameter input shaft nose.
Didnt realise it was lost and mate helping is off on holidays Saturday morning. So with public holiday tomorrow here in Victoria I’m in strife.
So desperate I’d even be prepared to barrack for Collingwood on Saturday .
Yes Shane ( Double Chevron ), the ‘92 RRC I sold you which has now gone to god had a Mt Hotham ski pass attached to the windscreen when I bought it and ,yes I’m a Demons supporter😂

And if it is a standard 300tdi/r380 defender box then I just measured one at 104mm end to end

Thanks,
that landyzone link is what I spent hours looking for the other night, priceless.
all assembled, gearbox and transfer case working well but clutch slipping under load. Reckon the pressure plate isn’t fully disengaged. My measurements were a fair bit longer and probably didn’t allow for a bit of free play when I made up a new one ( out of an 8mm Allen key ). Made mine 127mm, so better get back under and shorten it.
