DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION R380 GEARBOX
Description
The all synchromesh five speed manual gearbox unit,
is married to a two speed transfer gearbox.
All the gears, including reverse, run on needle roller
bearings and the main, layshaft and primary shafts
are supported by tapered roller bearings.The whole of the geartrain is lubricated through
drillings in the shafts, supplied by a low pressure
pump driven from the rear of the layshaft. The gear
change has a single rail selector and spool type
interlock. The main and transfer gearboxes ventilate
through nylon pipes, which terminate high up in the
engine compartment to prevent water entry when the
vehicle is operating in adverse conditions.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS R380 GEARBOX
Symptom - Gear jumps out of engagement (any
forward gear)
1.Check condition and security of transmission
and engine mountings.
2.Check in situ, gear lever and selector
adjustments
See Adjustment, Gear change
lever bias spring - adjust
andSee
Adjustment, Fifth gear stop screw adjust
.
3.In situ, remove gearshift and check selector rail
yoke security.
Also check selector detent spring tension and
both spool retainers.
Suspect internal fault, see Overhaul Manual.
4.Check action/operation of main selector rail and
forks.
5.Check condition of synchromesh and gear dog
teeth.

adjustments
See Adjustment, Gear change
lever bias spring adjust
andSee Adjustment,
Fifth gear stop screw adjust
.

on affected gears, see Overhaul Manual.
Symptom - Noisy gear engagement, vehicle
stationary
See CLUTCH, Fault diagnosis, Clutch
Noise - Mechanical Faults

not top up at this stage.
4.Drain lubricant and check for contamination or
metal particles.
Suspect worn synchromesh, see Overhaul
Manual.
5.Check condition of synchromesh unit, springs
and cones for distortion and wear. Also check
dog teeth for damage and cone mating surface
on gear for signs of overheating.
6.Check condition of all gearbox components,
ensure clearances and adjustments are correct
on reassembly.
Symptom - Noise from gearbox in neutral, which
changes tone or becomes worse when clutch is
depressed,
See CLUTCH, Fault diagnosis, Clutch
Noise - Mechanical Faults
.
Symptom - Noise from gearbox in neutral, which
disappears when clutch is depressed.
1.Check lubricant specification and level, if low do
not top up at this stage.
2.Drain lubricant and check for contamination or
metal particles.
Suspect worn bearings on layshaft, primary shaft
or front of main shaft, see Overhaul Manual.
