Thread: Borg T/Case help

Mike, you can replace the viscous unit, the front output shaft and bearing with the case in the vehicle, about 1 hour from start to finish will be plenty.

Brilliant This is good news

The ID plate on the Transfer case is as follows

Borgwarner
13-61-199-005
Kenfig
West Glam.
UK

Model number .... 13-61-005
Serial number .... 005-04399

Can you tell me how you describe what it is??? (as you folks keep saying LT230)

I actually have a RAVE CD (1 & 2) .... but it appears to be for a 1995 RRC ... I think I have bought the wrong one .. Will have to most probably order another

Where are you going? .... is it Fishing swimming or drinking or you just have to see our lovely white beaches

I dont fish... its my one token effort at being a greeny I like to dive and look at them... but other than that.. Im coming home for xmas, got some minor spannering lined up, meet my latest nephew (yep Im an uncle) with a little luck I'll get down to snorkle hopefully dive the jetty and heaps of other stuff, Might even con the old man into putting lara through her paces.

I pick it up tomorrow, but its a BW Tx for a classic rangie, it will be the same

A VC BW Tx is NOT an LT230 as fitted to classic RR's from 84 till 88 and discos

I didn't think it was a LT230 .... Just didn't know how to describe mine (VC BW Tx)

Will drop the tail shaft Monday night and then go from there

If you have a boat .... You should go to the back of Garden Island / North end ... Heron Bay ... Lovely reef in a sheltered bay .... Lots to see
Heaps of vessels park up there for the weekends

I take it that you want to drive to Lancelin / Wedge again

VC=Viscous coupling
BW=Borg Warner
Tx=Transfer

The BW Tx case has a VC inside and is chain driven, also its passenger side drop in the P38

Lt 230 has the manual centre diff lock

Well ... got home after work and took off the tailshaft
The tailshaft bolts on the T/C side don't come out so I put spacers & nuts on it to keep them bolts tight

Well ... went for the drive .... and Yep .... No vibration ...
Car drove like it should do .... Full power in drive train .... No slip from the Viscos

I drove it real carefull and applied gradual power .... No vibration / No slip
I also tried put the foot down hard .... No vibration / No slip



I can hear "Low level" gear & bearing noise // The kind of noise level that only A daily owner driver would hear ... So not screaming noise .. But it's there

The "gear & bearing noise" appears to come from the center of the car // right where the T/C case is

The T/C oil is also "Brackish" in colour .. instead of the red colour of tranny oil
I had changed this oil 1 year ago


I also put my hands around the bearing areas of the case to feel for bearing heat .. None to be found
The brake drum was also stone cold ... so it's not that at least



SO ..... What would be your thoughts ???? as my idea at this stage is to Rip the T/C case apart on Friday night


and I am NOT looking forward to having to unbolt or cut the exhaust pipes to get them out the way
