Gen3 county - What gearbox

Post by qserv »

Well im putting a gen3 into my county but keep coming across issues working out which gearbox to use, so far i have looked at the L95 and other rover boxes but run into issues with clearance for the flywheel unless i take alot off the bellhousing, i have also looked at using a t56 with a lt230, but that is pretty complex and the t56 may not handle 4wd anyway, theres heaps of auto options but i really dont want an auto.

Can anyone suggest anything else? i have been told the Tremec TKO600 would be a good box to use, but they seem pretty rare and very expensive, others have mentioned using patrol or toyota boxs but i want to retain my rover transfer case...

Thanks

Mick.

The only viable option I can think of is patrol gearbox adapted to an lt230. I believe LRA did a conversion kit to do this. Then there are heaps of kits to connect gen 3 to patrol gearbox.

I hadn't heard much about these until you made me look them up. Nice ratios, geez... 6.34:1 first gear is pretty decent.
This is not legal advice.

How easy is the NV 4500 to source in Aus though? Are there any vehicles here that had them stock??
