They'll be different.  Not in the gearbox itself (unless the R380 was introduced earlier than the 300?), but the input shaft is different.

I think it is, but I'm no expert on the LT77S gearbox.

Did you mis-type your initial post?  You posted 3.5 Litre, which usually means the 3.5 Litre Rover V8.

If it's a 2.5 Litre that you meant and not a 3.5 Litre, then they should be very similar if not identical.

i think what he meant, rich, was is the gearbox in a 2.5 (tdi, obviously) the same as in a 3.5 (v8, obviously).
