anyone know if the input shaft on a rangy p38 2.5 dse manual is the same as any of the disco/defender variants?? I hear on the vine the p38 has a different size but can't find one listed anywhere specific for it... tia

ftc5052 is the input for a suffix j
 
just check your suffix first ,last letter and digit of gear box serial number, k and l use a different shaft as they have a bigger input bearing

Will do.. I think it was originally a tdi 300 box.. for some reason some arse has gas axed through the bellhousing and input shaft.. but if all else fails it's a cheap transfer box lol.. hoping it will take the p38 input so I can get on a bit with some running gear work while my bodywork ticks along..
 
First motion shaft for P38 J suffix box is as James says FTC5052. For K and L suffix box's TUD102660.
Output shaft also differs Disco to P38.

Cheers it's the p38 one I need tho when I say it's going in a discovery it's going in a discovery chassis with a 6 potter BMW diesel upfront p38 ish hybrid if you will lol m57 is the successor to the m51 of the p38 so bolts straight up to a p38 bellhousing clutch and input shaft..
ta guys
 
Hope the bloody clutch fork is a bit better designed and it hasn't got the same p!ssy spiral clutch pins!

We use the std "pull" clutch fork system but knock those pesky roll pins known to sheer out and replace with stainless high tensile bolts.. are they what you refer to?
 
Don't go mentioning those horrid little roll pins on here they are the work of the devil, I don't want to go through that again:eek:
