Ok,
On second gearbox rebuild, doing myself, last one mechanic lost a piece and box only lasted 20000k.
On the extension housing bottom there are three holes with a tapped thread.
There was a dampener fitted for the first five years I owned vehicle (May 2000 production vehicle).
I was always worried about clearance as the bottom of this damper looked like a large shock absorber base and protruded a little below the protection bar going between chassis rails. It was a cast part silver in colour from triangle bolt pattern then metal discs and rubber discs...wish had a bloody photo!!
Landrover aust has no record, in fact it has no record of what gearbox was fitted to my vin.
I have no photo as thought this was standard part (my first landie!) apparently it could be any part of any vehicle landrover/jaguar ever made which is not helpful.
Does anyone have remediation vehicle with this fitted?
Has anyone seen this on ANY other vehicle or piece of military kit?
