wickmyster Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi all, I have bought a LD28 to upgrade from the SD23 in a bedford. The van already has a 5 speed from the sd23, can I use this box and flywheel on the LD28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Is the bellhousing/front section of the gearbox removable? Or is the main case all one piece? If it's like two halves, then you can. If it's one large bit, (These ones usually have a flat "pan" bolted to the bottom) then you're up for a new box. If it's two main sections, then you can swap just the bellhouisng. You need to identify what "size" box it is. If it's a 63, or a 70 series box. The number is often found on the side. If it's a 63, then I have an L series bellhousing here for a 63 which is zero use to me. (I was going to scrap it tbh) If it's a 70, then you'll need to find a bellhousing from the likes of a 240, 260,280 C/Z/ZX etc. Is you box a floor of column shift? Can you post a photo of it? Are there any numbers on it. Nissan/datsun is a lot like lego really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickmyster Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Will have to have a look when I get back to the olds (my storage shed ) Do you have idea about the flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Fuck knows. But I think all L6 flywheels should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 l series petrol and diesel flywheels are different depths i've found, only since bolting an ld to an l28 patrol gearbox, the ultimate box would be from an mq safari lwb with divorced transfer, as they are a 4 spd bus box essentially and the Bedford won't put too much strain on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickmyster Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Just a bought another LD28 as a spare and it came with a fivespeed and all the bits and bobs needed, Now have 2 SD23s and five speeds up for grabs, will give them a de grease and get some pics up ASAP.
