Can someone educate me on what different the turret makes over and above the slickshift kit? e.g. this bundle https://www.onlinegearboxparts.com/product...d5-bundle/

over this one: https://defenderupgrades.co.uk/product/lan...t-inc-td5/

It’s just a new oem turret, i got it with mine as the standard one is aluminium and can wear down over time.

My truck had done 159k when i fitted it. I’d say it’s an improvement but it won’t change your life.

I had a Slickshift installed last week and the difference is remarkable. Didn't upgrade the turret as mine was in goog nik with only 120k on the clock

I was going to say might do mine as well as I'm at 125K ... but no idea if mine is worn what are the symptoms?

I have just had mine fitted with the new gearbox, and it’s night and day. No more stirring the spanners to change gear.

I would highly recommend.

I fitted a slickshift and it made quite a difference to mine at 125k. I should have probably have changed the turret too as mine was borderline, but overall a great improvement - and a heck of a lot easier to fit than the LOF powerspring!

I’ve just done the shifter and spring (didn’t do turret as it looked ok even at 140k) and the difference is incredible - well worth it (despite the spring being rather fun to fit!)

Well, l've just received the Slick Shift kit for my 140,000 mile TD5 110 so looking forward to seeing what difference it makes.

Did you get a replacement turret as well or retaining the original?
