That's a really common problem with the such diff.
Can you budget for an Ashcroft ATB to replace the open diff?
That fixes all your issues.
Hi all,
I have the Transfer Case out of my D2 to put an overhaul kit through it.
However, on opening the diff assembly we find that 2 of the 4 spider gear copper shims have been worn completely away and the gears have begun to wear away the casing.
Question ~ does this mean that the casing is destined for the metal bin OR can we still use the casing, and install a Differential Gears Kit, and double shim to make up for the 2 worn sections?

Ashcroft Transmissions
Replaces the open diff.
It's a torque biasing centre diff, a gear type limited slip diff that you can still lock when needed.
It reduces the backlash from centre diff wear and improves driveability on dirt and in the wet in my experience in a Defender.
I have another one here to fit to my D2.
I Have a D2 transfer case for sale. i believe it is in good condition.

Many years ago, about 30 to be exact, I bought a 77 with a very sloppy LT95.
I took it to an Indie named AFAIR Land and Sea which was at Sylvania in Sydney.
They actually machined the star gears and diff case in the LT95 and fitted oversize bronze bushes , which tightened up the transfer greatly. ( along with I imagine new thrust washers etc.)
I would think that this would be possible with an LT230 , but I don't know if anyone does it these days.

I’m with Rick on this
The LT230 is about the dumbest simplest bag of gears possible - it’s only weakness is the diff and running a layshaft into an al housing
I wouldn’t even muck around with the diff just put in an ATB and while the box is on the bench machine the case and sleeve the layshaft / seal mount
Put it back together and forget about it
