Jamie_grieve Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Does anyone have the dimensions of the various splines used on the LT 230's?I'm particularly interested to see if the main shaft from a ZF S5 24 gearbox will fit. I've got three of these sitting in the shed but the only LT 230 I have to hand has much finer splines but I remember older ones had a coarse, maybe ten spline input from the LT77's they were fitted with? Equally anyone with an old gearbox lying around that could stick some verniers on the main shaft that would be much appreciated. The S5 24 is a nice compact gearbox with a 6.34 1st gear which would give me a nice crawler gear for the bigger tyres I want to use. I also have one with a hydraulic pump on it I'd like to use which would leave the PTO on the LT 230 free for a mechanical winch. It has ten splines on the output and is very similar by eye to what I remember the old coarse Land Rover output spline to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigelw Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 That is the same as the LT77s box I have laying out the back, looks to be ten spline too. I never knew there was a difference in the input shaft splines only the input gear itself either being solid or cross drilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm with Nigel, I didn't realise there were different splines in the input gear? Certainly nothing mentioned on the Ashcroft site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I remember something from pirate where they used a spacer and spud shaft to mate a different transmission to an LT230, even think Dirty Diesel did something similar????

ashtrans Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm with Nigel, I didn't realise there were different splines in the input gear? Certainly nothing mentioned on the Ashcroft site. There is only one type of input spline used in the 230, many types of gear but only one internal spline, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_grieve Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Many thanks for all the replies. When I took it apart properly I realised my mistake. Looks like I'll have to get the middle of the drive flange from the ZF in the middle of the input gear. No dramas, all part of the fun. I know just the man for the job, he may keep us updated with any progress too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
