GEARBOX IDENTIFICATION
The procedures given in this manual cover overhaul
of the R380 gearbox fitted to a range of vehicles and
as such, certain differences exist between
gearboxes, particularly in respect of the extension
housings, gear change housings and transfer box
selector housings. It is important therefore that
before starting work, the gearbox to be overhauled is
correctly identified. Identification can be made by
noting the gearbox serial number prefix stamped on
the RH side of the gearbox casing and referring to
the following table which lists four types of gearbox,
A, B, C and D together with their appropriate serial
number prefixes.
NOTE: The gearbox types listed are only
intended as an aid to identification and do
not relate to gearbox part numbers or a
particular vehicle.

applicable gearbox type referred to and it is
important that the relevant operation is followed.
