I'd love to see the full gearbox repair. I've seen some of the other R380's repair videos you have, but this is going to be great! Thanks Mike

Ok - soon as I evaluate the parts needed!

[@grahamsmith2039]

Excellent observation mike , great work as always 👍🏻

[@BritannicaRestorations]

How it was driven I will never know!
Look out for more on this vehicle!!

I fitted the modified gear when I rebuilt mine. My "rebuilt" LT77 leaks lot of oil. I can live with that but it jumps out of 5th now and then. Have you have had that problem Mike? It has a slick shift on it which may be part of the problem. Cheers, John

John,
I always smoke test every box now on the bench to make sure it is oil tight
Not sure about jumping out of 5th
There was only 1 detent spring and ball on the 77 but 2 on the 380 - so a weak spring could be an issue
I have to inspect this slick shift further and see how it jives with the gear box - first time I have seen one

Not been to the UK for years, so I cannot say - sorry

[@paulb6501]

Do you rate the slick shifter Mike?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I have not had time to evaluate it yet - think it will be a long time until this vehicle gets back on the road!
