Thread: Ex Army 110 gearbox? Different to Defender?

i assume you mean the LT95 4 speed. then the answer is NO, Having said that if you are asking the question you probably think all 110s are defenders.

Land rover Australia stopped the Lt95 in October 1985 for civies. mill vehicles retained the Lt95.

but to your question is an Ex ADF 110 the same gearbox as a pre 85 rangie. YES, BUT. different tranz brake. no biggie just keep the army or 110 one.

out put flange is different, rangie is smaller as is the flange on the drive shaft on the rangie, apparently the housing is the same so i think its just a swap out or 350 approx, bucks for a new one.

transfer gears. are a lower ratio in the rangie. the 3.9 Isuzu has the highest range available .996. there are different small changes with different suffix boxes over the years.
Bear man is the man who seems to have a wealth of knowledge on the LT95.

there is also a short shift and a long shift box

so why are you asking?

To amplify the last post - the LT95 four speed box was introduced in 1970 for the Rangerover and 101 FC. It was used in the first coil sprung V8 110 Landrovers, and also in the Isuzu engined 110.

It was replaced in the Rangerover and V8 110 after 1985. I have seen statements that it was not used in the civilian 110 after 1985, but I have a 1986 plated Isuzu engined 110 with the LT95.

As the LT95's integral transfer case is the only one providing for the third axle drive, this is fitted to all 6x6 Perenties, and also to all (possibly only nearly all) 4x4 Perenties.

The Defender did not replace the 110 until 1989 (1992 in Australia, but no 110s after 1990?), after the Perentie program was completed. As far as I know all pre-puma Defenders have the five speed R380 gearbox and LT230 T/C. Post 1986 pre-Defender civilian 110s (V8 and Isuzu) used the five speed LT85 box. The LT77 five speed was used in the 2.5l petrol and diesel vehicles not sold in Australia.

I believe the 200 tdi Defender and Discovery used the LT77 gearbox

that's right, 200tdi (up to abt '93 maybe early '94) deefers had the LT77 + LT230, '94 & later 300tdis had the R380 + LT230 as JD posts

and I believe that the LT77 was used in manual RRs

coloqualliy.

No defender had the lt95 the counties did. As did the rangies.
The lt95 in the perentie is not the same as the one in the rangie/county it is however similar enough that of you had a broken one and a replacement of the other type the. you could make it work.by part swapping.
The lt95 has the txase as an intergral unit in terms of housings.

The defenders with the tdi200 had the lt77 the tdi300 had the r380. Both ran the lt230 tcase.
The discos followed suit.

The easiest way to work out what is in a defender is to look at the belts and the shift pattern.

If you have v belts you have a tdi200, a serpentine belt is the tdi300
If the gesrshift pattern has r135 up the top and 24 at the bottom that's the lt77 and if 135 is at the top and 24r is on the bottom that's an r380.

The county has either a v8 or an Isuzu easy to spot once you go past the fact that one has 8 spark plugs, carbies in the middle and is made of aluminium where as the other. Has four injectors a fuel injector pump on the drivers side and is made of cast iron. If when you look into the engine bay if you find yourself thinking " I could beat Chuck Norris to death with that " the n that's an Isuzu 4bd1.

If the shifter Has five and a reverse then it's an lt85 in one format or another with an lt230, four gets you the the lt95.


Hope that helps.

From what I can gather the High range in the Ex army 110 is higher but both have the same low ratio???

95 Transfer ratio ( Integral part of LT95 gearbox)
LT95 gearbox
transfer part 101 Forward Control 110 90, Range Rover
High transfer 1.17:1 1.34:1 1.11:1
Low Transfer 3.22:1 3.22:1 3.22:1

there are more flavours than just that. then you can add the disco and latter transfer gears into the mix as well. but thay are all lower ratio.

you already have the highest at .996, so just leve it at that.

you can grab a rangie box, change the rear output shaft and change the transfer gears by swaping out from your box. but if you can do that. then you are able to just rebuild the box you have. assuming you are not being over fussy about how ruff these boxs are in the first place and that it needs to actualy be rebuilt??

I am lost mate? You mean the Highest high range in 1st gear?
