S3 rockhopper into Sierra 1.0 litre T-case

S3 6:1 rockhopper into Sierra 1.0 litre T-case
I'm told by some that I need to have a 1.3 t-case to fit the S3 rockhopper.
Is this true?
Many sites list the S1 to suit both types, with a price difference, but only list 1.3 Sierra case for S3.
If this is so, why?
Do I need certain 1.3 bits not in 1.0 case?
Do other brand 6:1 gear suit only 1.3 cases?
Are other brand 4:1's built stronger/better?
T-case is on its way to God, so now is a good time to give gearing a thought. (I can't trust S1's too many have busted)
Its nearly Summer, tyres can wait, and extractors can stay split for a while
Altho I'd prefer to have one fitted, I will probly have to fit it myself (hopefully they come with fitting instructions)

the series 3 went into mine (1.0ltr with 4wd light) a couple of weeks ago.

I believe that they will fit into a 1.0ltr transfer with the 4wd indicator light but will not go into one without the light.

thats good news, mine is the 4wd light type, the early LWB's had them. I wonder why they dont list them, probly think they are all gone, thanx mate, christover

[roc box]

it will fit from 9th month 83 onwards

it will fit from 9th month 83 onwards

so it would be the same ratio as a 1.3 with s3
cept it will have handbreak on it?

[roc box]

think so seeing all gears from 1ltr will be replaced altho diff ratios in 1ltr will be lower

ya might want a hydraulic assisted puller for bearings mine were real tight to get off shafts standard puller wouldnt do it

I got a mate with a gear puller that he can fit his air rattle gun onto
he did his own recently, so its doable, christover

yes, but some early 1.3 ie narrow track, have hand brakes on t-case also

mine are in a narrow track case with the hand brake. they fit but i had to do a small amount of grinding to the inside of the case so the the S3 gears would turn. probally shaved about a ml of the inside of the case at one spot, where the was a bit of a lump.

thanks mate, its probably a NT thing then, I have heard shaving is needed on 1.0 and some 1.3's, that must be it. christover
