Thread: LT95 Rebuild kits

I can tell you the replacement pump is a up grade as the fibre one could break specially if the wrong oil was used.(engine oil was factory in gearbox and transfercase as new)
I would be buying as many bearings as possible though the local bearing supplier to save costs.
Others will know where to get parts cheap.

Cheers mate.

I've been to CBC and they came out at just under $500 for all the main bearings (steel caged ones) They don't make a kit, which makes it hard..

Welcome to the world of LT95's. As Ron said the steel oil pump is an upgrade as the fibre ones were prone to breakage especially if you used heavy gear oil in the box. Do a search on here and you will find quite a few threads on LT95 reco. With the bearings go good quality on mainshaft/layshaft and centre diff, on the intermediate shaft use genuine roller bearings and on the box gears use genuine synchos. RHP bearings are tops for the mainshaft and genuine Timken (watch out for cheap chinese copies) on layshaft and centre diff. Do you have a manual for setting up preloads?

I did some searching and have read as many of the LT95 thread I could. Esp to try to get the supplier info.

Yeah, I'm not going to use cheap bearings. I certainly don't want to pull the box back out. The thing I was dubious about with the bearing quotes I have had, is whether they include the gear bearings or not.

I don't have any manuals as of yet. I'm looking around for the best to use. Any you can recommend?

Thankyou.

If you click on the "shop" icon on the top header list of the page you can buy a rave CD for the 4BD1 Isuzu landy 110 for about $16 that has a repair manual for the LT95 included in it. Basically it is the same box with a different transfer gear ratio and handbrake setup but the repair/setup is the same as the RR one. In Sydney you can contact BMI (British Motor Imports) All4X4(Kotara) or CLR (Blue Mtns area). No doubt there are others but I have dealt with these suppliers and can recommend them. The gear bearings are usually separate form the "main" bearings and you would have to specify them. They are cheap to buy, rollers under the gears and thrusts between them. PM me if you need any help with part numbers etc. As I said earlier RHP MJ 1 1/2 C3 are the ones to use on the mainshaft. Try Statewide bearings, I have found them the best and cheapest for all the main bearings.

Or try Ashcrofts.

Awsome. Thankyou very much. I will give them a go. I havn't tried any of the retailers you wrote. So it will be a breath of fresh air. Cheers

I'll try them too. I'm trying everyone at the moment. I need it reliable within the next 3 months. Cheers

Land Rover Parts - GEARBOX - LT95 (4 SPEED)

The usual disclaimer - I'm not associated with these guys, have only bought a few things from them and they were good, etc., but they do list the kit and it doesn't sound too bad. I've been meaning to get in touch with them about what bearings they have.

I did buy everything separately from various suppliers a few years ago, and it was quite a headache. You have to go through the parts catalogue and check each and every part to make sure you get your list right.

As for Ashcrofts, they don't deal with the LT95 - sadly - and I don't think they sell anything for them. Though they do have a one-piece centre diff cross-shaft that's meant for the LT230 but fits the LT95 too.
