Thread: LT95 tapered roller conversion

the conversion is to do with the guts of the box, If you have an lt95 pushed by a v8 and are happy with the ratios in it then the conversion makes no difference to the ratios.

if you mean swapping an lt85 for a 95 thats a different kettle of fish...

Gday

There is only one gear for high range on the intermediate shaft (which is what is replaced in tapered roller conversion). It will be a different ratio (teeth count) to the one in your v8 unless someone has changed the high range gears. Will fit your TC all you will have to do is pull the gear off your existing intermediate shaft and put it on the tapered roller intermediate shaft (easy) and away you go. I have the teeth counts somewhere I can dig them out if you really need them.

I might be missing something here....

theres the 1.4:1 gearset and the 1:1 (near enough for the purpose of this discussion) gearset. I thought that both types could be had as taper conversions......

As far as i know T/R/B T cases were army spec only for the LT95, all 3 gears on the intermediat shaft in army spec T/cases were tapered roller bearings... stright drop in to civy LT95 T/cases with the correct gearbox sideof the T/case plug...

Mmmm you guys are probably right I thought the gears on standard and tapered roller bearing intermediate shafts would be interchangeable but maybe not.

Luke

thats what I thought too as we have the 1:1 in the stock rovers and 1.4:1 in the specialists and 6x6..

Thanks guys I wasnt sure if the high ratio gear was machined as part of the process.
If I can use my high ratio gear without machining that answers my question.
I have an LT95 that was built 12 months ago that is a good box but the back lash seems to have increased to an annoying degree.
In the last 12 months i have installed a Detroit locker in the Salisbury and the backlash all seems to have gone a bit too wild.
To be honest I thought it was the Detroit but after reading recent posts saying that a Detroit caused less backlash Im and thinking maybe I have it wrong.
The conversion to tapered rollers may not be the answer but will help the rebuilding process.

Am I missing something here ?? if you go the TRB set up you have to use

the gears and shaft... you cant just use the shaft without the

gears..army spec t/C high range is 1.123:1 low range is 3.321:1, there the

same for the 4x4 and the 6x6

or am I on the ignore list of more people than I suspect..
