DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
R380 GEARBOX
Description
The all synchromesh five speed manual gearbox unit,
is married to a two speed transfer gearbox.
All the gears, including reverse, run on needle roller
bearings and the main, layshaft and primary shafts
are supported by tapered roller bearings.
The whole of the geartrain is lubricated through
drillings in the shafts, supplied by a low pressure
pump driven from the rear of the layshaft. The gear
change has a single rail selector and spool type
interlock. The main and transfer gearboxes ventilate
through nylon pipes, which terminate high up in the
engine compartment to prevent water entry when the
vehicle is operating in adverse conditions.
