Does anyone no why Land Rover chose to put a series 3 clutch slave cylinder in such a place you have take half the landy apart to change it?
What I have managed to find out is…
When Land Rover brought out the Series III in place of the IIA the most significant change was the replacement of the gearbox with a completely new gearbox that incorporated synchromesh on all forward gears. The ratios were also revised, with lower Reverse and 1st gears. The Low Range ratio was also reduced. Clutch design was also modified to include a diaphragm spring, resulting in smoother and quieter gear changes.
I can only surmise that the newer arrangement, although a pain in the arse, was necessary to allow the different design.
