A quick youtube search brought me here. You can see the seal when he removes the transfer case. Also its american spec so will be auto gearbox.I presume

That being the case the seal between the gearbox and transfer box will need changing, which isn't difficult in itself and is accessible once the units are separated.. I'm not an expert and have only once removed an r380 and lt230 together as one...

Well I knew someone would come along and say they pull a horse box with two horses in it round the world twice a year,since 1990 . I did say its my opinion now i might change it and fit two turbos like a D4 !.Only joking. what is IP? I change...

Just to say I've not forgotten about this project. It becomes cheap tax (30 years old) next year so i will be picking up the theads soon. I did get another discovery 1 clock" (the one in this thread from ebay)but It doesn't work properly as the...
