Title: R380 short bellhousing gearbox where to buy
Post by: Axetamer on June 13, 2010, 19:31:42
Took the 90 over to avon dasset for a play today and my old LT77 blew itself apart whilst trying to reverse out of a rut, cant even get the stick to move its jammed solid, so the RAC  took me home, I half expected it break to be honest as it was jumping out of reverse and when reversing sounded "not right", I've just fitted Ashcroft driveshafts all round along with CV's and 2 ARB's, making the gearbox the next weakest link.

So its out with the spanners again once the muds been cleaned off everything.

Apart from Ashcrofts who want £1200 for a R380 short, where else supplies the short bellhousing R380? and are they as good as an Ashcroft box should be?
