what year Rangie?
1982 had the high comp motor with the .0996 high range transfer gears that are QUIET Mine was very quiet in its first life after rebuilding the whole thing at 230000k I sold it with 525000k on it and it was still quiet.
I rebuilt it as did not check the oil in the transfer case and when towing a boat it got a bit hot and smashed the bronze thrust washers, my fault not the gearbox.
In my opinion one of the best boxes ever made for the rangie
I'm not sure how many revs, but 1st is quite high and in 4th I reckon it's doing about 2500 - to 3000 rpm. I think the gearbox isn't .0996.
Anyway, the Rangie is going to be off the road for a couple of months. I've decided to pull the gearbox myself. I will also use the opportunity to continue to good work that's already been done to the Rangie and bring it up to spec and at the same time getting intimate with Qld public transport. The mssus is organising the shed this week while I'm at work (lucky me :) ) and also helping in putting a shopping list together for other stuff for the beast - the black hole in the back yard is beginning to open up.........
The interior of my Rangie has been stripped and the gearbox is ready to come out.
My question is;
How much does an LT95 weigh?
I'm also looking at a couple of other LT95 boxs which are not in a vehicle. What should I be looking for in relation to condition etc.
OK, someone will come in exact, but AFAIR about 140-160KG.
Bit heavy to have lying on the chest
Regards Philip A
Not quite sure how heavy they are but il be taking the body off my truck to get the LT95 out as ive damaged somthing in the transfer and im not sure what yet tho it now has an extra drain hole in it :eek::eek::eek:
As for the LT77's ive got 2 surplus ones here pm me if your intersted and i also have all the console and tranny tunnell to suite the LT77 into an earlyer rangie fitted with the factory 4 spd :D:D:D
Dont lift the body off just remove the floor/ tunnel section after removing the seats and bases.Quote:

So, in some respects, not an entirely bad thing. Although the loving relationship with Queensland Rail is wearing thin. :eek:
