Thread: Prop shaft lengths LT95 -> LT77 conversion

Is there any difference in the prop shaft lengths between the LT95 and the LT77 transmissions?

Stage1 LT95 has a double cardan front shaft, with a LARGE flange on it - won't fit the LT77/LT230. Its even larger than the D2 flange so you can't just fit one of those to the LT230.
They also have a longer front output housing, so the shaft needs to be shorter than what you need for the LT77.

AFAIK the rear end of the LT95 and LT230 ends up in the same place so rear shaft should be OK. That was the certainly the case when I removed the LT77 from my County and fitted an ex-Stage1 LT95.
