I'm planning to exchange the old and tired LT95 gearbox of my RRC with a R380 (short stick 5 speed) with LT230 transfer box. The set I want to buy is still in a car , so I can make a test drive to check if it's OK. Are there any special things to look at? Weak synchro's, noisy bearings , or does the unit have no specific weak points. If there are,and not noticeable yet, I could replace parts before installing in my car. I've read there's enough space in the tunnel, so expect I only have to change the hole for the both sticks and the handbrake lever. Expect some difficulties with the speedometer, maybe update to a later speedo unit? Or does it have an electronic speedo?
