They seem to be a helluva lot tougher than the 4 speed 'box. I'd do as you suggest, oil change and swap the filter out, stick it back in and see how it goes.MARINAMAN480 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 7:21 am Yes my box has ATF and I believe reading on some forums that there is a special oil for them now its a cross between ep an atf so improves the gearchange.
For the amount the car will get driven once done mite just do an oil change and flush if I can and put up with the noise .

Didn't know they had a filter in them, something to look at when the weather warms up, but overtime pay coming in handyPHUQ wrote:They seem to be a helluva lot tougher than the 4 speed 'box.

Re: Mk3 Gold saloon
I thought the filter was a Land Rover addition, in the transfer box adaptor housing. Not fitted in SD1 & TR7 applications

Ahh, you might be right there- mine certainly has one but now you mention it I think it's in the lump tacked on the back- sorry.

Lee,
I found this some years ago on a Dutch SD1 website. LT77 gearbox rebuild in 5 parts (left side of the page) even I understood it.

No probs, should answer questions about internal oil pumps and filters though.

Removed rear axle, replaced pinon oil seal, new rear springs and poly bushes, new shock absorbers, and had a look inside my fuel tank.
