Ali Zafar Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hey guys! My defender is leaking oil from between the transferbox and the gearbox. I heard there is an oil seal and O-ring in there and thats what needs to be replaced. Would any one the name and the part number for the oil seal and O ring, so that I can order the correct parts. My car is a TD5 with R380 gearox and LT230Q transferbox. Thanks is advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Looks like FTC2383 'Seal - Man Trans Output Shaft'. The diagram isn't that easy to understand. No O-ring that I can see. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 There's a seal on the t/case input, a seal on the g/box output and two O rings, one each end of the t/case intermediate shaft. It's the intermediate shaft O rings that often let go, Dave Ashcroft sometimes advises a slightly thicker section, the other thing that you have to check is that the shaft bore hasn't ovalised, creating the leak. In that situation the case needs to be bored and bushed. When doing the intermediate shaft the stake nut can be undone and the shaft pushed forward slightly to replace the o rings, but there is a crush sleeve in there and if the nut isn't locked back in exactly the same spot bearing pre-load will be altered.
