Thread: LT85 and R380 Spigot - same?

Just be careful in that the spigot on the input shaft of a diesel R380 is bigger than the v8 version ( roughly 24mm vs 19mm ). I've not dealt with an isuzu, so I don't know what sort of hole is in that crank.

Check your R380 thread

Apologies - I'm getting a little lazy in my old age - this might help explain it a little better.

Using a V8 R380 in a Tdi

for the record, what is the spigot hole size in the isuzu engine?

Thanks Langy,

Thats an awesome post.

I'm taking a 5 speed out & a V8 4 speed going in to an Isuzu( different bellhousing) & Fred Smith says I only need the clutch driven plate clutch slave cyl rod & bellhousing. So it should be the same as a V8 - if that helps.

The 5 speed gearbox fitted to Isuzu's was the LT85, not the R380.

Now I'm confused.
In response to the question about the Isuzu spiggot size, I'm saying the 4 speed V8 is the same. I'm not sure whether the R380 is the same as V8 4 or 5 speed ( LT85) but if it is, then the Isuzu is the same, which answers the original question.

I'm with your reasoning now.
