Looks pretty simple to me, maybe chain would take up backlash?Quote:

I've blown a few lt230s, they have their weaknesses too.
But it will have to handle a heap more power and torque than a LT230 ever had to,unless the vehicle was highly modified.Quote:

Used to air activate my lt230, even that can be a nightmare, for example, no neutral, compressor, lines, linkages.
Yeah it should be stronger than the lt230 given the power and weight increase. Just doesn't look very tough in that cut out .
I have no idea why you would air operate the lt230? It has a simple lever at arms reach!
Any possibility of ratio changes on the chain drive?
Same reason many others air operate it.Quote:

Cor4 even do a kit now
Ended up converting to cable, much better
No idea if you can change ratios, but i guess its like a bike, so probs.
I know the petrol and diesel new fenders have different diff ratios, so the petrol can have diesel ratios swapped in if its running bigger tyres using factory parts.
I assume it’s similar to the Magna Steyr transfer box that JLR have used since at least 2005 D3/RRS and 2007 RRV.
They should market these a bit better....I think it could be the clincher

Is the t-bag planetary reduction?
Seems the chain drive is for front shaft transmission
But the main sprocket sits concentric with input thereby my assumption the gear reductions (H/L) are planetary?
