    LT85 & LT95 Centre Diff

    Whats the diff??
    Excuse the pun, but apart from the part number, I can't see any difference between these. My 4 Speed one ( LT95) is buggered and I have a 5 speed ( LT85) one that seems it really good shape. Anyone know for sure they are the same? Side by side they appear identical.
    Or anyone experienced the same part with different numbers between models? IE bearings,or anything?

    Matt,
    Thanks for the offer, appreciate it. I have a bit of a collection myself but the pick of the bunch is out of the LT85. I'm building up a spare box, & trying to avoid a recon cost..

    When you say LT85, you really mean LT230, right? And apparently they are different, but I haven't looked at why yet. I think it's the spline count for the output shafts. I can't think of any time Land Rover gave different part numbers to the same part, though I'm sure there's an example somewhere.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    As I undertstand it the LT85 is the gearbox and the LT230 transfer case - LT95 is a combined gearbox/tfr case.

    So the LT85 is not all that relevant to the question - the question is really does the LT230 and the LT95 tfr cases have the same cdl?

    And I do not know the answer to that.

    Sorry Deejay but It will not fit in the LT95 box. Same principle but different shape/size centre diff etc. The cross shafts and bevel pinions are interchangeable but the side gears are not. The LT95 has coarse spline gears whereas the LT230 has fine spline.

    Brian,
    Thanks, the one thing I didn't do was look into the centre. Pity, it has practically no slack. ( forgot the techo word)

    If the 95 has 10-spline sun gears (I think they're called) and some later boxes use 24-spline, are the sun gears interchangeable? Cause if so then you could fit newer half-shafts to the older diff during your rebuild.
