it will fit but high gear is slightly taller better for motorway not so for towing heavy loads, to fit it you need to swap hand brake cable assembly from your box to it ,require 2 8mm holes tapping in rear of speedo housing

I am replying because you have the gearbox allready and presumably want to use it?.The Disco gear box has a bell housing 5.5" longer than the defenders. The output shaft is 5.5" longer as well. I used a disco engine and a modified gearbox in mt series3. It can be made to fit and if you are interested in some more details I can respond by private message only. Chris.
