    R380 question??

    Will a Disco 1 300 TDI R380 fit a Defender 300TDI.
    Do you just change the gear selector?
    Thanks

    Threads merged. Don't put the same question in multiple areas.

    Oh, I thought the question is valid in the Disco and Def areas.
    Sorry

    AFAIK changing selectors is a big job, so most just get the correct box.

    That's why it's now in TC. Putting the question in multiple areas means the answers are split over the forum and others may not see them all.

    To change the selector top, you have to dismantle the whole box which requires special tools.

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

    But which one?

    When confronted with a R380 gearbox, does reading the boxes serial number give you the type of vehicle it was designed for?
    .

    Defender vs Disco R380s are obviously different. The shifter is in the middle of the box on a defender and in a rear extension housing on the disco.

    V8 vs Tdi is fairly easy to spot as well. Bolt pattern and input shaft (spigot bush section) are different diameter.
