The LT230SE transfer box is as described above for vehicles up to 03 model year with the following modifications:
The following items are introduced on vehicles from 03 model year
- Ribs added to main casing to reduce operating noise
- Bearing retaining nut on the differential carrier has patchlock added to the threads
