Welcome back to The Doctors Garage and watch this video today to see the latest modification to my Land Rover Defender 90 TD5. I Installed a Slickshift from SynchroGearboxes for my R380 gear box. It was a simple install and I love the result!

Not replacing the gasket hurt my soul at least slap some gasket sealer or JB on there 🙃

@andicog Год назад

Should have fitted a gasket either side of the spacer plate or at least some silicone, also should have greased the ball and the little tabs that meet the springs. Usually (like on yours) the grease on the ball has dried up and re greasing improves the change considerably even without the quickshift kit.

Keep up the good work making videos I’m loving them

Cheers Thomas appreciate it 🙏🏼

I’m so going to get one of these for my defender too. Great videos thanks

It’s a great mod!

Hello stranger I put a slickshift in I'm TD5 a a couple of years ago and love it. Had to laugh at you trying to remember what you had done to improve the ride quality of your Defender while sitting in (and failing to mention) the most comfortable looking car seats I have seen in my life.

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

😂😂 I did forget. However nothing destroys comfort like a set of mud terrains tyres that never go on mud but look cool

@sukottora Год назад

@@thedoctorsgarage Very true.They do look good though. I like my ATs but I previously had a set of Michelin Latitude Cross Terrains which were very quiet and had great handling, but they wore out too quickly.

Similar fitting process to the r380?

@sukottora Год назад

I get contact dermatitus just looking at those gear knobs. I quite like the look of the Defender Heritage Gear shifter knobs from Mud UK. Worth a a look?

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

Will take a look! 👌🏻

@453421abcdefg12345 Год назад

Did you go back and replace the damaged gaskets? You could find that without the whole gasket oil will seep out, but this looks a good modification, the only downside for me is that the French customs charge will double the cost now. Chris B.

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

Thanks Chris- yes I need to go back in and do that and sort that Nylon cup- do you think there will a bit leak of gasket oil without a seal?

@453421abcdefg12345 Год назад

@@thedoctorsgarage I dont think there is any oil sloshing around in there, but there was a gasket, so it must have been necessary, maybe some gasket silicone would suffice, each side of the spacer would need it as well. Chris B.

@andicog Год назад

@@thedoctorsgarage think the gaskets are more to prevent water getting in, as has been said, there's not oil sloshing around in that little compartment, fit 2 gaskets and grease the ball, makes it much nicer.

@grahames9228 Год назад

Good job.

@scaryfakevirus Год назад

I had the same issue with mine so I left it in. It's been fine.

@richardtedeschi9290 Год назад

My feelings as well, never driven with Slickshift though on my 300Tdi I feel fine the way it is, maybe I got used to it or maybe I'm agricultural myself 😂 I would install one if I have the money which is going into maintenance right now. Ah, I used to have the same front mats as you now have the Land Rover ones, my seat box is covered with that rubber, I know about dropping small pieces... when I was changing the foam on the vent flaps a couple of months ago the bolt nut and washer fell inside the bulkhead below the dash, I panicked for a while... then fortunately as it was very greasy inside there I managed to pick up the bolt with some sellotape on my finger and the other two bits by pushing my finger on the grease where the bits fell, also put in some new mudflap pins changed the original ones with some that screw on, nice improvement.

@scaryfakevirus Год назад

My knuckles used to hit the dash as I have a central console fitted.

@markriley2733 Год назад

Hiya I can’t rate how brilliant the alive comfort pack is. I have the same as you on my 2011 puma 90, Do you think the gear shift upgrade is relevant for the Puma?. I haven’t driven a TDI for years but my gear change doesn’t feel too bad at all. Is this a worth while upgrade?? Cheers

@jamesshaw7171 Год назад

You can get one for a puma, different kit but its the same website

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

I’ve spoke to a few people who do have pumas - they say it makes a difference - maybe not as much but they still report it worthwhile doing 👌🏻

@philanderson7611 Год назад

I really hope there was some new gaskets installed. Made me cringe seeing half a gasket installed.

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

I do need to go back in to fit one and replace that nylon cup- for the purpose of a video I’ve left it as it is for now. What’s the risk of leaving it gasket free??

@philanderson7611 Год назад

Generally the gaskets are there for a reason, if the gear selector is connected to a wet/oil filled part of the gearbox you will get oil throw up from moving parts in the box. This will then seep past the area without a gasket giving you an oil leak eventually. I would of thought there would of been a new gasket above and below the new spacer. I could be wrong. Thanks for the reply 👍

@jglp9061 Год назад

I mean all that crud around the gear box kinda suggests why it’s sealed 😅
