Monster Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hi guys, I dont normally pass this side very often but am need of some help/advice regarding a rebuild i am about to start. I am currently running a Lightweight hybrid that has a Range Rover engine/transmission. It is fitted with a 3.5 V8 coupled to a 4speed auto and BW transferbox. I am proposing to fit a Disco 200tdi to a def 5speed gearbox with a LT230 transferbox. A real mismash!! What has this got to do with you guys??? Well i am in need of a transfer box to go with my engine/gearbox. Ideally i would like to fit the 1.4 ratio version but i have in my shed a 1.192 from a Range Rover '87 i think coupled to a 4 speed auto. My question is this; Can this transfer box be fitted to my defender 5 speed gearbox? Do i need to modify/upgrade any parts? As it is an auto will i need another input gear for the transfer box? I dont really want to shell out any cash at the moment as i hope to get a 1.4 version (and input gear) but i have this box available now and will make do with the higher gearing until i do. Any thoughts would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Bolts straight on. Just make sure the splines of the input gear are in good order so you don't knacker those on the mainshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noggy Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 yep should bolt straight on, second hand LT230's are cheap enough tho, id have a look for one of those. you realise your props are going to be the wrong lengths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
