Re: 3.9V8 Timing Cover on a 4.6V8
Is a different camshaft not also required with the gear to drive the distributor? I may be wrong, but what I think you are looking for is an Interim Cover which was fitted to engines that had the crank driven oil pumps but retained the distributor. I'm not sure if it was a serpentine or V belt cover...

Re: multi plate clutches
Crickey - quite a journey! The remote boosters from older cars can be positioned 'relatively' anywhere - they are usually 6" or 7" diameters. Maybe could fit one under the dash? Hydraulic line from your clutch master in - then line out into your clutch slave. Would need to ensure there is enough fl...

Re: Auto to manual conversion
Your best option will be to hit the breakers yards and find a manual version of the car and strip out the require parts and fit them to yours. If not, you are going to be minus your car for ages while you make up the necessary parts from bits and bobs cannibalised of random cars and bodged to fit, o...

Re: LT77/R380 interchangeability..
I only have experience of the 2WD version of the box and I think they differ in that area but I'd say you'd struggle to mix and match. On the 2WD the rear case is significantly different, a fair bit larger. I think this is due to the reverse gears being sited in that casing on the R380 IIRC this is...

LT77/R380 interchangeability..
Morning all, A few questions for the gurus....seeing as the R380 is an updated LT77... 1. Will the LT77 rear cover fit the R380 and still have the pump etc functional? 2. Is the output shaft interchangeable from LT to R series boxes? I have an ex-Discovery 2 R380 that ate the input pinion and I'm th...

Re: LT 77 Gearbox removal problems
There are 2 bolts at the back of the engine on top that can be a right bugger to get at, you normally need to tilt the engine and box back and use all your extensions to get at it from the rear of the box. https://robsport.co.uk/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=5577&name=bell...

Re: Can Rover sd1 2.4 TD gearbox be fitted to v8 engine?
I am not familiar with the diesel SD1s, but logic from BL's methodology would indicate that they'd use whatever was available to them with minimal changes to save costs... So, as stated earler, only 5th gear is different, meaning the basic gearbox is the same. This leaves the bell housing and propsh...

Re: ZF4HP22/24 dimensions
The 22 does have a locking convertor but it only fits the small or medium convertor, the large p38 convertor only fits the 24 bellowing and pump. Are you absolutely sure about that? I believe that there is only one bellhousing, and all converters will fit inside it. And they will all fit the input ...

It'd be a bugger to ever remove again, but Sikaflex will hold that nice and tight.

Re: Broken bolt extraction tips!
Loctite 8009 will also work nicely there.

It's a formulation for Stainless fasteners, but will be good on mild steel as well.
