just from experience of stripping so many over the years ,plus lr service intervals are based on as long as they can get away with for commercial reasons

there is more than one cause but a good place to start if oil change doesnt help
Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
It's bizarre really, after a run down the motorway it's really rather stiff to get out of 5th and into say 1st if you're stopping at lights on the slip road etc, but then it almost instantly loosens up again, doesn't take long at all.
Another thing, I'm really not sure if the oil pump is working, it has bogbrush cooler but every time I undo cooler hoses I never find more than a dribble of oil in the

But apart from non existent synchro on 2nd, very awkward to engage reverse, fairly awkward to find 1st, wobbly input shaft, wobbly output shaft, bizarre noises when coasting in 5th, unhealthy groaning when under load in 1st and a small amount if general bearing noise, it really is in great shape

rebuild might be best option before its past that point

Thanks lads
It was opened up by local transmission shop back in I think 09 when it lost reverse but they didn't do a full recon
Was something stupid like £350 quid aswell which was daft but I was naive
Anyway I have faith in the box despite it's character but a suped up r380 is most likely on the horizon I think
I don't see the point of hanging on to the lt77, shame really because it is the one remaining original component in the vehicle
