Camtel –
Fitted this M57 8 speed kit into my Defender 110, and it transformed the truck. Everything came in the box, no chasing parts, and the install went smoother than expected. The engine has serious pull, the gearbox is clean and quick, and the whole thing finally feels like it should’ve from factory. Really happy with it.
