Right chaps,

Going to be changing my gearbox/trans box in the very near future.

I going to buy a secondhand g/box and t/box, hopefully from an honest seller.

What would you do;

Split g/box and t/box just to make sure the input shaft is ok.

Split g/box and t/box, and if input shaft is ok, fit new ashcrofts input gear in the t/box, might as well do it whilst they are apart.

Just fit g/box and t/box and trust the sellers word.

Come on chaps, shoot me down in flames for asking the question.:flame:

What have you got now? You'll be very lucky to get a good second hand LT77 long stick, they are like gold dust, better to get yours reconned. Tfer boxes don't wear out as bad and there are plenty 2nd hand disco ones about if you don't mind the higher gearing - but check what ratio u currently have. The ashcrofts site has loads of useful info that will help you identify exactly what one you have.

What transfer box do you have now? Is it 1.66? (assuming it is as you have militray 110) If so then its a big difference going from that ration to the 1.2 disco box. Ive got 1.2 (ashcroft recon) in my 110 (ex military 110 with 200tdi).-
