Thread: Help!! problams with re-building R380 gearbox?

Hey all

Dad is in the middle of re-building an R380 gearbox for mums disco 1 at the moment.

Everything is all together apart from the gear selector forks
He has followed the workshop manual and fitted it exactly how they have it pictured in the book. no matter what way they are fitted he still can't get all the gears

So i was just wondering if anyone on here has re-built one before and can suggest the correct way they go? Any pictures or diagrams would be a great help!!!

We have spoken to a mate who has built one before and he ran into the same problem and after many attempt's to get them right he eventually fluked it

Thanks in advance....CHEERS TIM.

Awesome!!

Thanks mate i'll have a look
