DESCRIPTION  
Introduction  
Mainshaft input gear  
The LT230T transfer box is mounted at the rear of  
the main gearbox and transmits drive to the front  
and rear axles via the propeller shafts.  
The gearbox output shaft is splined into the  
mainshaft input gear which is supported by taper  
roller bearings.  
Construction  
Input gear bearing pre-load is achieved by the use of  
a selective shim located in the bearing housing. An  
additional power take-off gear is located at the rear  
of the input gear for certain applications.  
The transfer box comprises three main assemblies,  
the main casing, front output housing and rear  
output housing.  
Intermediate gears  
The main casing carries the mainshaft input gear,  
the intermediate gears and the differential together  
with the high/low range gears, selector shaft and  
fork.  
The intermediate gear cluster is supported by taper  
roller bearings located at each end of the cluster and  
running on the intermediate shaft which, in turn, is  
supported at the front and rear by the main casing.  
The front output housing carries the front output  
shaft and flange, high/low cross shaft, housing and  
selector and the differential lock selector shaft and  
fork. A dog clutch on the front output shaft is  
operated by the differential lock selector fork to  
engage/disengage the differential lock.  
Intermediate gear bearing pre-load is achieved by  
means of a collapsible spacer positioned between  
the bearings, the amount of compression applied to  
the spacer is by means of a nut on the end of the  
intermediate shaft.  
The rear output housing carries the rear output shaft  
and flange and the speedometer drive and driven  
gears. A mechanically operated transmission brake  
is attached to the housing, the brake drum being  
attached to the output flange.  
All housings and cover plates are sealed to the the  
main casing by gaskets or sealant; mud and water  
ingress being prevented by mud shields and  
throwers located at each end of the output housings  
and on the drive flanges.

TRANSFER BOX  
Differential assembly  
Front output housing assembly  
The differential assembly is supported at the front  
and rear by taper roller bearings, the bearing outer  
tracks being located in the front and rear output  
housings. Bearing pre-load is achieved by means of  
a selective shim located in the front output housing.  
The front output shaft is supported in the front output  
housing by a single bearing and is splined into the  
differential front shaft.  
The high/low cross shaft is located in a housing  
bolted to the top of the output housing and is  
connected to the high/low selector finger which  
locates in a slot in the selector shaft.  
The differential rear shaft carries the low range gear,  
high/low selector sleeve and hub, high range gear  
and bush and the differential rear bearing; these  
components being secured to the shaft by a special  
nut.  
The differential lock selector housing is also bolted  
to the top of the front output housing, the selector  
finger passes through the housing, locating in a slot  
in the differential lock selector shaft. The differential  
lock selector shaft passes through the selector fork  
which is located beneath a plate bolted to the side of  
the output housing. A spring loaded detent ball fitted  
in the output housing locates in grooves in the shaft.  
The differential assembly comprises front and rear  
half carriers with integral shafts and sun and planet  
gears mounted on cross shafts within the half  
carriers. Dished, non-selective thrust washers  
control the engagement of the planet gears with the  
sun gears whilst selective thrust washers are used  
to control the engagement of the sun gears and load  
to turn of the differential. The differential carrier  
halves are bolted together, a retaining ring providing  
positive location of the cross shafts.  
A differential lock warning lamp switch, operated by  
movement of the selector fork and shaft is screwed  
into the top of the output housing.  
The high/low selector shaft and fork are located at  
the side of the differential, movement of the shaft,  
fork and selector sleeve being controlled by the  
high/low selector finger. A spring loaded detent ball  
fitted in the main casing, locates in grooves in the  
shaft.  
Range Rover Classic only - For certain markets, a  
neutral warning lamp switch operated by the  
high/low cross shaft is screwed into the side of the  
housing.  
Rear output housing assembly  
For certain markets, a neutral warning lamp switch  
operated by the high/low selector shaft and an  
interlock solenoid are fitted in the main casing.  
The rear output shaft is supported in the rear output  
housing by a single bearing and is splined into the  
differential rear shaft. The output shaft also carries  
the speedometer drive gear which meshes with the  
driven gear located in the rear output housing.  
Lubrication  
Lubrication is by splash, oil filler/level and drain  
plugs being located in the main casing. An oil  
temperature switch is also fitted for certain  
applications.

TRANSFER BOX  
OPERATION  
The gearbox output shaft transmits power to the  
mainshaft input gear which is in constant mesh with  
one of the intermediate gears. The intermediate  
gears are in constant mesh with the high and low  
range output gears running on the differential rear  
shaft.  
Power is transmitted to the output shafts by locking  
either the high or low range gears to the differential  
rear shaft. This is achieved by means of the high/low  
selector fork, sleeve and splined hub.  
The differential lock, when applied, prevents all  
available power being transmitted to the road wheels  
offering least resistance and is especially useful for  
’off-road’ conditions. When selected, the selector  
fork engages the dog clutch on the differential shaft  
with a gear on the front output shaft; this locks the  
differential and provides fixed drive thereby  
transmitting equal power to both output shafts.
