You need to know if oyu have a 413 box or a 410 box as they are different in ratios and the 410 is more difficult to get. You can find out by how many rcounting the revolutions of something - I think Martin has a guide on it as he bought 2 of the same as someone sold him one in error.

You need a 413 + a 410 to make a Rocklobster, so with a bit of luck you have a 410 box being the hardest to get and can source a 413 easily.

Richard will sort you out though.

Sounds like you may have a "Mini-Lobster" fitted. This is where you fit a 410 transfer box to a Jimny to get you a small reduction in ratios.

If so then you are the best part of the way to a full Rock Lobster as the 410 box is the hardest to get hold of.

The guide on this site does tell you how to identify what you have. I was sold two 410 boxes and was told that one was a 413, which was actually quite a result for me as the 410's are rarer and more expensive. Usually people sell you 413 boxes claiming they are 410's
