Canada 2000 Defender 110 Td5 XS CSW Epsom Green
Transmission Rating - Uprated Transmission [108AA];
So I did a search of my VIN and one of the build items and code that was listed for my 110 was this "Transmission Rating - Uprated Transmission [108AA];". Anyone know what this means?? Just curious.

This is directly from Ashcroft's site:

"The R380 was introduced in 1994 with the suffix J which was a significant improvement on the LT 77 it supercedes> Differences included a steel oil pump (as opposed to the LT 77 fibre one), an additional 2 support bearing, used on the layshaft and the mainshaft, wider gears, bigger diameter synchro rings, synchromesh on reverse and a longer mainshaft spline.
This suffix J did unfortunately have a couple of design flaws which gave the R380 some bad press, they were prone to the mainshaft shearing across the oil feed holes, the layshaft also sheared at a stress concentration behind the sandwich plate causing loss of 5th and reverse also early ones still suffered from mainshaft wear until the cross drilled transfer case gears became fitted as standard on the suffix G transfer cases.

In 1999 the suffix K was used very briefly for a few months then came the suffix L. The K and L are virtually identical, the only difference I have found is the L outer main casing has an additional strengthening rib, internals are the same. The J and K/L are very different, 2 of the bearings were substantially uprated and pinion and layshaft teeth were widened again, this results in a much stronger unit."

Possibly you have a suffix L ? Have you found the transmission serial number? it's a Landrover thing...

That is it Thanks. It is an "L". Curiousity only... one of those "now you know" moments.
