Moin liebe mitglieder,
Da meine serie verkauft ist, reizt es mich schon wieder
Ein projekt anzufangen.
Vlt diesmal mit mehr geduld :)
Der plan war eine serie mit einem 2.5 l saugdiesel
und LT77 plus LT230 auszustatten.
Mit parabol federn und somit eine
Alltagsserie zu haben. Trotzdem noch die schönheit
Eines wunderbaren englischen autos zu erhalten.
Die, die auf originailität schwören bitte jetzt weghören.
Nun hab ich heut abend mal die ashcroft seite
durchforstet und siehe da: es gibt anscheinend bereits
Gedankengut zu dem Thema.
Fitting a 5 speed box to a series vehicle!
Allerdings kommt nun was, was mich stutzig machte:

Product Information
Adapter kit to mate a LR 5 speed to a Series LR transfer case
We often get asked about putting a 5 speed LT77 or R 380 into a Series vehicle. This combination gives a stronger gearbox, syncro on all forward gears and overdrive 5th. There are a few ways of doing this depending on the axles fitted and if it"s an 88" or 109".
The series transfer case is part time 4 wheel drive and the front axle is fitted with Universal Joints (UJ"s). The Defender and Disco is fitted with the LT230 which is full time 4 wheel drive and because of this the front axle has CV joints.
If you have coil sprung axles on your Series then they will have CV joints and thus you can just fit the 5 speed with the LT230 and this will be fine.
If you have stock Leaf sprung axles you have 2 options :
1) You can fit the 5 speed to the engine then modify the LT230 to part time 4 wheel drive and fit this in conjunction with free wheeling hubs on the front. The way this kit works is you fit a few parts inside the LT230 centre diff to change the operation of the diff lock so that in the "diff locked" position the centre diff is locked and you have locked drive to the front and rear props but in the "unlocked" position there is no drive to the front, just the rear, so when used the Free Wheeling Hubs the front prop, diff Etc is not spinning. We are able to supply these parts, please see here
2) The other option is to fit the LT77 or R 380 and then fit the series transfer case onto the back of it with this kit. This way you retain the stock "Series" transfer case with selectable 2/4WD. You can also fit freewheeling hubs so you are not wasting fuel spinning the prop, diff Etc. This ends up a shorter transmission and allows you to keep the stock front grill even on a 88".
The gearbox length is increased by 102mm (4ins). The preferred method to accommodate this is to move the engine forward as this entails no change to prop shafts or cross members. Please note on some vehicles you will also need to modify cross members as well. This is not sold as a complete kit to put a 5 speed into a Series as there are many other considerations as mentioned, this kit is just the parts to mate the gearbox to the Series transfer case.
Note this kit cannot be used with the series high ratio transfer case kit or a PTO.
Ich wieder: Da ich ja das Lt230 verbauen möchte, würde
Das ja laut AT nicht mit den Blattfeder achsen einhergehen!
Muss ich nun auf coil sprung achsen umsteigen mit
meiner idee?!
Und wenn ja, welche achsen nehm ich dazu?
Defender, classic Range rover,...?
Danke und
Besten gruss sieb
