The old girl has got some chairs to rub down, I said to her you can sit outside beside me doing the landy tommorrow, we can whisper sweet nothings to each other.

la bala Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 When they designed Series Landrovers, why the heck didnt they make it so the gearboxes came out the bottom. And what sherbert designed the stupid little plastic thingies that hold the clutch release bearing to the clutch fork. Thats my rant for the day.

la bala Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well happy with that, gearbox went to reconditioner 8am on wednesday morning, collected it 9am this morning. It has had to be reassembled minus the overdrive as it has some splines you could shave on, more bl@@@y expense if i can locate what i need.

It was made that way so box could be changed in a field, or swamp. And also the fact that in 1947 it was only pits, not ramps so I would imagine it's a big lump to manhandle out underneath, easier out the top.

Walker570 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well done la bala. I have pulled a Rangie gearbox out and they had to come upwards through the door. Fortunately had a friend with and engine lift, but still one hell of a job and putting it back was almost as bad. Eventually they saw the light and put a removable cross member on the chassis. Still need some muscle and the right kit to get a box out. You did well and nice to know an old Landie is still rolling. Mine is a 1989 90 with a 4ltr V8 and LT 85 gearbox which has been in and out three times so I know how you feel :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodp Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 It aint no picnic taking it out the top by hand If there's three of you get a long fence post (8') through the doors and sling it to the box. One person each side outside the doors lifts the post / gearbox and the third guides it in or out. It's not too heavy that way. You can convert the cross member to removable quite easily, not really worth it unless you have a ramp though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
