    4wdIndustries R380

    Has anyone had any experience with transmissions from 4wd Industries? I am considering a reco R380 down the track. Anyone with R380, Santana or transfer case experience with them?

    Cheers

    Ps. Jeez major parts on a D2 are very reasonable priced compared to small silly bits on the current crop of vehicles!

    If its only a 5 speed,, and its designed and built by LR,, how difficult a rebuild can it be?

    I've used them for other things before and they are very good, the man rebuilding the transmissions is pretty switched on, I'd go with them.

    I got one from them about 60k km’s ago. Brilliant from day one. Just be sure to use their recommended oils. I use Castrol Syntrans with no problems. When it’s warm it shifts easily and smoothly.
