discovery r380 for saleOver the years there were a number of different gearboxes fitted to the various Land Rovers available. Each model of car had numerous variants also, which means that each gearbox had different ratios. Coupled with different Transfer box ratios and diffs there are a bucket load of different ratio available.

Here we will cover the Manual gearboxes fitted to Series, Defender, Discovery and Range Rover Models. We will cover main boxes and the transfer boxes also. Automatic Land Rover Gearbox Ratios are not covered. To help find what ratios your gearbox has you will need to find the Serial number stamped on the casing. 

Below are various tables listing the different ratios that were fitted to each gearbox.
