    Discovery LT230 in the Defender - Transducer

    I swapped out the Defender LT230 for a higher geared Discovery box & now have no speedo reading. I'm pretty sure the Disco transfer transducer is knackered but I notice it has two wires, not 3 like the Defender. Would that be the problem? It's a common swap, but a forum search does not explain the wiring.
    Thanks,
    David

    Why don't you put the defender one in and see if it works. I'm pretty sure they all fit in the same hole of the transfer case. Someone else might confirm.
    Cheers, David.

    Totally different, I would have if I could have
    The lug is longer, & thicker. Just trying to avoid swapping out the whole output housing.. or if I buy a new one, will it work with 2 wires instead of 3??

    no speedo

    Hi there i had a similar problem when changing my borg warner to lt 230.
    the piece in which the transducer shaft presses into should be able to be removed from the transfer case and interchanged between the two. if that makes sense.

    I think that's what I did when I swapped a RRC cable sender with an electrionic D1 transducer, it was a long time ago so memory is a bit rusty. I'll have a look at the transfer I have in the shed when I get home to see if anything can be done.
    Cheers, David.

    Just pull out the speedo drive gear and steel sleeve it sits in and swap, the holes in the transfer cases are the same,

    ^^^^ What Dave said, and as a further bit of info the LT230 transducer etc fits the LT95, too. I have just fitted a td5 electronic speedo to the 4 spd county, finally no flickering needles, a decent trip meter display and great back lighting. AND it is accurate, too!!!
