rekab69 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi, I believe that a transfer box from a 300tdi Disco will help the motorway cruising for my Td5 110.... will anyone fit?? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 just make sure the Disco version has the centre difflock attachments as some D2 didn't have the difflock linkage. most LT230 will fit any other vehicle with a similar box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 As above, any LT230 transfer box will fit just be careful of Disco II ones as they don't all have a diff lock ! Look for the Q suffix for the ideal one just on noise grounds (or lack of). Alternatively you can change the gearing in your own transfer box but getting a decent second hand 1.222 ratio transfer box is probably easier and cheaper.

Hi Dave, is it just a case of stripping it down to swap over the gear set, not having to worry about clever stuff like setting up back lash and things...? cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Nope just fit the complete LT230Q box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 If you want to change the gearing it's not too difficult but you need to strip the box down a long way to change all the gears over, there is a crush tube that sets the end float so you just need a new one of those. You basically end up doing a complete strip down and rebuild of the complete box, just about everything has to come out of it. You also need to get hold of the gears of course, that can work out more expensive than a replacement box ! I converted mine from 1.2 to 1.4 using some nearly new gears out of a TD5 90 that someone had had changed to 1.2. It took about an hour to change it over once the box was on the bench. The replacement box is the easiest way to go and also has the benefit that, if you decide you want bigger tyres at a later stage, you can quickly swap back if you keep the existing transfer box somewhere.
