Good evening all, basically the volvo has to go :( to fund the landy sort out,

im after a series transfer case, to rebuild as i need to put a high ratio gear set into it to make it more road friendly. http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/part_35.html anyone know of some one breaking a landy, or has one lying around (as you do)

thanks - ben

have you considered the Lt77 gearbox?

unfortunatly the lt77 is 4" longer than the series 4spd. so would require chopping of cross members and chassis mounts, aswell as seatbox and bulkhead. and a custom front and/or rear prop. or shove the engine forward 4 inch. and loose the series front end (bad plan!)

the lt77 gearbox and tcase is also permanent 4 wheel drive, the series one isnt. defenders are all permanent 4x4 so have cv joints on the front, the series axels have uj joints and if they are in constant 4 wheel drive they can self destruct!

so yeah ive considered it haha!
