Gearbox doesn't match compliance plate - FS5R50B gearbox matched to an RD28 motor
Hi all,
Have been having trouble with occasionally slipping 3rd and 5th gears in my manual 07/98 GU 2.8 Patrol. Before I can set about ticking the boxes discounting the obvious things it won't be (engine mounts/ lever socket etc) - then ordering in a rebuilt/ 2nd hand trans to replace it, I wanted to check if others had found that some 2.8's came with the FS5R50B, rather than the FS5R30A?
Having a look under it clearly looks like the 50B, but earlier forums and the compliance plate say the 2.8 is always matched to the 30A. I know nothing about Patrol's and will not do any of the hard work myself, but any feedback will help as I'll have to probably order parts in for a mechanic to fit- living remotely means you can't simply drive back to the shop to exchange something!
