I agree it makes no sense pat. Best everyone contacts ashcrofts and gets them to keep making the lt230 atb...☺ we're going to need more. lots more ��

Thanks for posting the pics Justin, seriously that looks like some chinesium knock off part :/ I'll make fitting the ATB I have as a priority now.

Cheers,

Hi Justin,
So how is the customers feedback with the centre ATB in? Has it made noticeable difference the driveline slack?

I checked the website last night 395 pounds, about 900 dollars.

I bought mine a year or so a go when the rate was more favorable, its going into the disco transfer case to be fitted soon.
There's 2 different types one for defender transfer cases and one for the later disco transfer cases; from the man himself;

There are 2 types of LT230 ATB, the difference is the spline diameter for the hi/lo hub, to work out which one is required pls see here :

Ashcroft Transmissions
Regards Dave Ashcroft.

cheers simmo

Just confirming that the abomination is not present in the 2013 model. Fitted the other ATB today to a 2013 90 and it still had the old style 4 pin centre diff. Emailed Ashtrans last night and Dave said it was strange also that they had bothered to change something so late in production..

Has been happy so far i believe and yes they do reduce the slack too.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Can I assume my 2009 would still have the 4 pin setup (fingers crossed)?
