Dunno about your suffix but I don't think they differed too much anyway...

I can give you the ratios for an SD1 box from the BL manual. Van boxes have wider spaced ratios, IIRC. If you have the box out of the vehicle, it's easy to work out the ratios.

G17A SD1 2300/2600 5 speed

yes the box is out,how s the best way to work outthe ratios? thanks lee

Mark the input and output shafts with Tippex or whatever. Count the number of turns for each one in each gear.
4th is direct, so both shafts will have the same number of turns.

Ist - if an SD1 box - will have 3.321 turns of the input shaft to one of the output shaft. A Sherpa box has 4. something - so easy to tell.

I mark the input and output shafts, and then turn / count both ends until both ends have made an exact whole number of turns.

So you might get 33 turns of the input to 10 turns of the output which would be a ratio of 3.3

That's what I did with and old R380, it is much better than just doing one turn of the input shaft. It can 'do your head in' counting turns on two shaft, having a second person helps!

Do two columns (input and output) on a sheet of paper and put a tick on them each time the shafts pass zero.
