Thread: Don't loose your output drive Mud shield

Whilst the LT230 was out and I decided to repair those annoying oil seepages.
I replaced the rear oil seal, when it was time to put it all back together, sheizen hauzer, where is the mud shield? I took it off and have only been working in a small areas. It really peed me off as the are Gold plated or perhaps platinum or some other precious metal. I had to order one from a aftermarket landy supplier, and this little bit of bent tin was $22. So hang on to yours keep it safe.
I reckon some elves took mine, I pulled the garage apart thrying to find it.

Well it seems I might have lost it after all.
Checking Microcat I found there is an oil seal shield and an
Oil seal shield with some red lines on the schematics.
There must be 2 options. One oil shield is a ring that caps the output casing lip and there must have been an update where a different different oil sheild was used that was slides over the the output and rests on the circlip that retains the uni bolts.

Any way the gods were against me again, the "e"clip that holds the swing arm inside the transmission brake went flying when I was fitting it. Never to be found!
So I shoot off down to Repco to buy a blister pack of E clips hoping one will be the correct size. I get home and there are 2 in the pack that fit, the first one decided to fly off into space never to be seen again. I'm having a good day. The second one Flew as well, but landed on the floor. Whilst I was retrieving it, the original Land Rover one was sitting near my foot., It was not there this morning whilst I was sweeping the garage floor trying to find it.

Any way I finally got the R380 and the LT230 mated up again, but the Hi /Low range lever will unengage, but the lever will not re engage, so there must be a linkage out by a turn. I replaced the O ring on the Actuater on the Trasfer case, possible I need to spin the fitting around anotrher hole and see if that helps.
