Discovery 2 Gearbox
Discovery 2 gearbox systems provide reliable power transmission through both manual and automatic configurations. The R380 five-speed manual and ZF automatic transmissions handle substantial torque from Td5 and V8 engines, whilst requiring specific maintenance procedures and quality components for long-term reliability.
Gearbox Types and Maintenance
R380 manual gearboxes feature robust construction with synchromesh on all forward gears, providing smooth shifting and long service life when properly maintained. Automatic transmissions offer convenience but require regular fluid changes and proper maintenance. Clutch systems work with manual transmissions for smooth power transfer. Engine mountings affect gearbox operation and must be maintained for proper alignment. Quality transmission fluid and regular changes prevent component wear, whilst transmission components require proper lubrication.
