LT77 woes

bought it & it was discounted

change the box over & how

Home job is fun!!! About 4 hrs ish.......

You have to lift the vehicle up as high as you can to get the gearbox out from under the vehicle, as four post lifts are not normally readil;y available to us home mechanics!!!

Expect lots of swearing as well!

I have 4 ramps so it should be ok at that, if not i have a 5 foot hi-lift too!!!!

I was thinking more the actual procedure & how do i sort the shagged input flange on the TX box etc?

Cheers though, cant wait!!!

Have I missed an earlier explanation - as there isn't one (in the way I'd understand it) I'm finding this difficult?

The gearbox output shaft goes directly into the TX box, the gearbox shaft is shagged, so i reckon the input flange on the TX box must aslo have wear as it is due to lack of oil? Or am I missing summat mate!!!

There is no flange. The rear end of the main 'box mainshaft is splined and mates with the splined bore of the transfer 'box input gear.

Right, thought there was one, well, the box input gear then!!

f*ck me, what are you on?

LR service times list has 6 hours for remove and replace transmission.

I'd expect to take a long day, or 2 ordinary idle-bastard days, at home.

You can do this on a 110 by removing the seatbox and floor panels, unbolt props and other stuff, remove T-box, then remove main box, in 2 parts, from inside the vehicle. If you're strong enough, you can do it without a hoist as well. You'll want a jack under the main box so you don't hang it on the input shaft while removing it. You can't get the whole transmission out upwards even with a hoist, or I couldn't, mind, that was an auto and borgwarner. But you've got to split the T-box and main box anyway, so may as well lift 'em out in one piece. likesay, if you;re strong enough to lift the halves then you don't need a hoist.

Swap input gear in the T-box and swap bellhousing and gear linkage stuff over is about half an hour, I should think.

see above, about doing it from inside. has the advantage if working in the open that at least soem of the time it's not raining on you :-)

this is true. and it's the gear you have to replace, but it's easy enough to do. Make sure you get a cross-drilled one to replace it.

hehehehe - I hear what you are saying matey!

Anyone know of anywhere near to Leeds/Bradford to pick one up from. I dont want a second hand one, just a good quality re-conditioned one.

Are there any gaskets required, i really am going to have to get a manual or at least a parts manual.

Might as well throw a clutch in it as well.

Nige uttered summat worrerz funny about:

For my money (though I have none but spending that of others is much simpler!) I'd consider whipping it down to Ashcrofts or L.E.G.S (Legs?) for them to do.

Long bloody way though!! Also, it's gonna take 'em some time too!

Hummmmm.....

Nige

Beaumonts at Wainstalls near Halifax is the man you want.

Martin

Any numbers etc? Directories can't find it

Martin

Cheers, bloody hell, they only want £350 for a good recon. Also £45 for a cross drilled input gear.

I'm gonna nip up later i reckon, once me oil leaks sorted!!

You're very welcome and you'll not be disappointed. I've used them quite a lot in the past and never had any problems. They also do power steering boxes but I've not used them much lately as the age factor slows you down a bit.
