As we now know, my gearbox/transfer box have now lasted 20,000 miles, it is the bit that joins them that gave up after 20K.
Clutch, about one every 6K so far 
70% road use, 30% off road, some very heavy. No towing. Bob 2015 Jaguar XE240 R Sport - goes like ....... !! 2013 Defender 90 CSW - sold 2009 Defender 110 Double Cab - sold 2001 TD5 90 CSW - offroad project - sold to a forum member 2011 Porsche Boxster - for the sunny days ! |

24k miles. No problems with gearbox/transfer box or clutch. 90% on road hi-speed if possible don't like to be last in queue, 10% gentle off-road. LANDYWATCH

58K miles all original except for the oil, no problems,
had a word with opie about gear box oil when I was doing the transfer box oil as Tbox is every 48K but Gbox is 120K say land rover, opie recommend gear box oil every 40K? food for thought Mark |

Just under 40.000 miles, all on-road, infrequent long highway trips at 80mph, but main use is half city, half intercity. Gentle with the mechanics, but all original, gear- and transfer box, original clutch (has had the occasional light rattle at idle for a while, but that seems to have disappeared now. In two weeks time plan to change for the first time both gear- and transfer box oils (engine oil/filter every 4000miles), and also will change for the first time the diffs oils. Sofar all works a treat, touch wood will stay like that
 You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Mine is only 8k and nothing but smooth. A friends '08 TD4 has come from Africa recently and that machine runs now at 125k with first gear/transfer boxes. Never forget: cars have owner, Landrover have field service personnel.

New transfer box at 4k although I'm not sure it was right from new. Took it in to LR with a nasty clattering after long distance and then coasting to junctions. Service manager assumed it was loose clutch plate fixings but then called me back later kept the car for a few days.
minimal off road before, lots since with no problems. |

I wonder if it would be helpful to put the model (90/110 and body type) and even tyre size/type, so we could see if the relative weight of the vehicle or loading on the transmission affects owner's experience?
Anyway, my vital statistics: 2008 110 Utility 54,000 miles often heavily loaded. Daily driving, long road trips, off road use - all original 2009 110 Double Cab 24,000 miles use as above. Both vehicles are usually shod with 285/75R16 BFG KM2 although they sometimes have 285/75R16 Mickey Thompson ATZ Interestingly, my 2001 110 did a gearbox at 50,000 miles. That truck was driven 'unsympathetically' off-road though

'07' plate DC, used daily including off-road, usually laden near GVW, coming up to 100k miles, on original gearbox and transfer box with no issues from either.
Several other driveline issues (front diff, rear halfshafts) and early-type clutch replaced with later type. Main dealer did once advise I needed a new t-box due to backlash, but it was actually the front diff not the t-box, and I wonder how many other Puma 'gearbox' issues are in fact caused by other driveline components. Overall I rate a good MT82 as the best Landrover gearbox since LR fitted synchro to 1st and 2nd gear; I'd certainly rather have an MT82 than an R380 any day. |
