TRANSFER GEARBOX
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION LT230T TRANSFER BOX
The LT230T transfer box is a permanent 4 wheel
drive, two speed ratio reducing gearbox incorporating
high and low range outputs with mechanically lockable
centre differential (diff-lock). High/low range and
diff-lock selection are made via a single lever located
forward of the main gear lever.
A shiftlock device is fitted in some territories, it is used
as a park facility and prevents accidental gear
disengagement when the ignition is switched off. An
audible neutral alarm is also fitted. This alerts the
driver when parking to move the gear lever to the high
or low position.
