first trip

What ratio is 1st gear in the LT85 and LT95?

I think my Isuzu box is about 5.8:1. That gear is only ever used for going slow downhill.

LT95 fourth 1.000:1
third 1.505:1
second 2.448:1
first 4.069:1
rev 3.664:1

LT85 fifth 0.795:1
fourth 1.000:1
third 1.436:1
second 2.180:1
first 3.649:1
rev 3.824:1

LT95 high 0.996:1
low 3.321:1

LT230T high 1.003:1
low 3.198:1

Was the 'T' version of the LT230 used Land Rovers with the 4BD1?

I would have thought they didn't come along till later.

High ratio T cases seem to be like rocking horse poo. Maybe Blknight can offer some wisdom.
I have a high ratio R case with a 1983 casting date, it was originally bolted to a 3sp TF727.

thats where they come from, the 3 speed rangerover i believe..

fine if you want to use 31" tyres.... ;)

Fine when you have enough boost to push it.:D

Hey Inc

I,ve got an LT 230 with 30% gears fitted for $5500. Comes with a free 4 door 95 disco 300TDI / R380 and Twin maxidrives. Body is repairable;)

OK, I have made some enquiries, Barry tells me ALL work IE transfer reduction kits, etc etc are to be ordered through MR automotive, so unless there is a group of us willing to commit at one time through MR ( IE like that thread on OL), then I can't offer any better prices .

What he said - my book actually says LR230T (whatever that is supposed to be!!!). I will find out soon if it has taper rollers.


Inc - the overall (1st low) ratio is about the same as your tdi. If you want it to go slower down steep hills, the cheap solution (but possibly slightly dangerous on a vehicle with PAS and power brakes) option is to just turn the engine off (could use a toggle switch in the stop solenoid circuit if you want to keep the other electrics on). I do this on my IIA diesel and it works amazingly well (but it has a cable fuel shutoff, and NO PAS or power brakes).

When you get to a steep bit, pull out cable, descent slows - when it flattens out a bit, push cable back in and keep driving.
