the last e suffix series 2a boxes were all synchro ,but as long as your box is suffix b on you can convert to all synchro by changing lay shaft main shaft 1st and 2nd gears plus synchro hub and reverse idler, its a conversion ive done quite regular when rebuilding boxes so i know whats actually required ,,if a box needs rebuilding the added parts were likely going to be changed in any case and you dont need to alter clutch mechanism and pipe work
finding a good working one of those might not be too easy too,but yes not something you want to try without some experience
I won't mind taking it apart to have a look inside but to be honest would prefer to just swop one over
Sorry to re initiate this thread, I am also going to be rebuilding my March 1969 series 2a suffix F land rover with a suffix E gearbox. Do you know if my gearbox is pre synchronisation as the clutch is solid so can't check for the moment. If it is pre synchro, which suffix of layshaft ,main shaft ,1st&2nd gear and synchro hub. As the Series 3 had both suffix A and B?
That's right yes, the car is a new purchase so not started taking it apart yet.
It has yes. Going to replace it with a lof master cylinder and an oem slave.
Oh right, thank you. Bit strange of them to do that considering it’s the same box just updated. I’m probably going to keep mine original for now.
