ashtrans Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi all, a short note to make you aware we have recently taken delivery of two new LT230 ratios we have designed and made. One is 1.100 : 1, ideal for those with tuned TD5 Discos or tuned TDCi Defenders who 'want another gear' The other is 1 .301 : 1 ratio, good for those who have put bigger tyres on their Disco or TDCi Defender and find the 1.211 too high, or those with a TDi or TD5 Defender who want to gear it up a little but think the 1.2 ratio may make it a bit too high. please take a look and let me know what you think, New LT230 ratios the ratio calculator is quite useful to see the difference any changes will make : Ratio Calculator Dave Ashcroft Ashcroft Transmissions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cackshifter Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Mmm, that certainly widens the options, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That is a good idea, the 1.1 on a tuned tdci and std tyres would mean you could actually use 1st! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'm thinking the 1.1 would be a pretty good match with portal boxes as well. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naks Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Ah, yes, finally! I have a 2.4 BAS-tuned with Alive Intercooler, and sometimes I find myself looking for a 7th gear. So this 1.1 would be ideal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 @Escape the original 1.003:1 is pretty good with portals, if anything you want even higher ratio if you're cruising about... although I realise I'm in a minority doing motorway miles on portals!

Escape Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 @FridgeFreezer I know the original 1.003:1 is even better, but as I understand it that's rare and hard to find. I had found one many years ago, when I was thinking about putting portals under my 90. Then I went and bought a car that already had portals, so I sold it on (maybe you remember? 😉 ). I thought the 1.1:1 could be a good alternative. But I now see Ashcroft offers 1.003:1 as well, so that would be even better suited, as you say Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naks Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Funny, I queries Pete from BAS about the ratio, and he doesn't recommend going to 1.1 even on a tuned 2.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
