    LT230 SE Conversion

    Firstly this is not a tutorial - it's a project, why it's not a tutorial - well firstly I have never done this before, and I am not sure if I know what I am doing, secondly - it could all go horribly wrong.

    ...............but I have started anyway

    The project is to change the front housing on a LT230 SE transfer case, with one that has the CDL mechanism - my 2002 Disco doesn't - and whilst I may never need it again (I really could have used it last Xmas) it's nice to know it will be there if I do.

    The project started in ernest today when the 2nd hand front housing arrived today from Alice Springs (thanks Jon) - complete with a faily heft covering of the red stuff.

    The pictures show what it was like when it arrived, and what it looks like after about 2 hours elbow grease.

    I will keep updating progress, together with any "balls up" I make, then if somebody is contemplating doing the same thing, they will know what to avoid.

    That has cleaned up very well! I have an entire Rangie here you can clean like that if you want to...

    I will follow this thread with interest, we have a few of those non CDL Discoverys here in Alice.

    Oh no, the free food and beer will still be on, that part is for when I have to remove, modify, and refit the whole transfer case.

    I really don't think I can do that bit (remove/replace) on my own.

    T/case is not too difficult on your own.

    Pull the brake drum to reduce weight.

    Jack under the gearbox, remove gearbox mounts and lower rear down before pulling the t/case. Watch everywhere for interference/problems while lowering.

    Re-fit t/case with the input gear out. Fit input gear after t/case is bolted up to the gearbox.

    Well errrrrrr!!!, it doesn't seem like the electric motor is the way to go, I fitted it all up this morning - but the motor is just too strong, and takes the actautor passed the detent ball groove.

    So back to the drawing board on that part, so it looks like a mechanical linkage and a bit of bracketing.
