Hi can you put a disco r380 into a defender and change the gearstick round the right way if so how do you do this. And is it easy thanks.
 
You gotta change the linkage on the top and swap the bell housing over. then it should work. Not very easy to swap the linkages over i dont believe
 
Im finding it hard to find a second hand one and i dont want to spend £500 for a recon then even more on getting it fitted so thought there may be another option unless u know of any r380 knocking round :)

I recently acquired a good used Defender R380 quite cheaply on eBay. They are around, you just need to keep an eye open. Much easier to change your box with a like-for-like replacement, rather than ****ing around with a Disco one. Jmho
