V8 has different input shaft to diesel boxes. Would have to strip box down and replace with original input.

Much easier to find a diesel box!
 
Its a shame its not an autobox you're after nunny. i got a spare one sitting round the back for my petrol RRC's
i think its called sods law
 
cheers all.think ime back on for getting it done this sat,,ere joe they say auto box better for offroading,,if i get let down again i mite do auto conversion ,keep ya all updated ,fingers crossd ,and thanks again apreciated
 
hope it all goes well for ya nunny.
I had heard that, and I guess the viscous transfer box will probably work better in mine now it has the correct ATF in there rather than gear oil!:doh:
Ironically I think I'd prefer a 90 with a manual box tho

hey joe... kno ya goin sunday but r ya goin on 13th too?

Not sure yet Nick. Depends if I break it or not this sunday!
I could do with replacing the rear diff pinion seal asap (will be topping diff up before the travel n play on sunday), and the wifes merc needs the brake pads replacing...I am hoping to get those done on a day off work. Also depends what day off work I can get these done.
Are you struggling to make this sunday Nick?


Hope it all goes well with the box change nunny
