    Ashcroft transmission 5speed kit

    Hi everyone,

    I was just wondering if anyone had fitted or considered fitting one of these Ashcroft 5 Speed Kits, it uses a LT77 gearbox and the Series Transfer case. You can use the LT 230 transfer case but it is not my prefered option.

    Ashcroft Transmissions - Series 5 speed kits

    I would like to know what are the Pros and Cons , and is it worth it.

    Thanks Jeff

    You lose your ability to have a rear PTO output for a winch etc.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Losing the ability to have a PTO does not worry me, I just really like the idea of a five speed box. I was just hoping someone on here may have put one in or know of some one in the UK that has fitted one.

    I read in one of the LR mags I get.It's quite easy if you can find a short bellhousing and box out of a 2.5 fender bolt the ashcroft conversion on shift the engine mounts forward 100mm I think. You have to use the series trans box cause of no cv's in the front diff I have wondered if the fender axles fit the series diff. To me it would be good to have a 5 speed. Cost wise hard to say cost me $2500 for an overdrive.Are there many 2.5 fenders around being wrecked?
    Cheers Will
