FAULT DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Prior to road test
1.Check oil level in transfer box is correct.
2.Check tightness of level and drain plugs.
3.Check breather system for blockage. To validate
the system the pipe must be removed,
inspected, rectified as necessary and refitted.
4.Remove all traces of oil from exterior of transfer
box.
Take vehicle for short road test.
5.Identify source of leaks and rectify as follows.
Front or rear output seal leaking:-
1.Drain the oil and remove the leaking output
flange.
2.Inspect the seal track on the flange for surface
damage. If damaged renew component.
3.Remove and discard the oil seal.
4.Inspect the seal locating bore and remove any
sharp edges which may damage the new oil
seal.
5.Fit new seal.
6.Fit the output flange and all the other parts.
7.Add oil to correct level into the gearbox.
See
LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS AND CAPACITIES,
Information, Recommended Lubricants and
Fluids
Cover plate gasket leaking.
1.Drain the oil and remove the leaking cover plate.
2.Remove all traces of joint sealant from both joint
faces.
3.Degrease all components and apply a thin film of
Hylomar sealant, to both joint faces.
4.Apply thread sealant to the bolts which come
into contact with gearbox oil.
5.Refit cover plate.
CAUTION: Care must be taken not to
overtighten the fixings.Leak between the main and transfer gearboxes.
1.Site vehicle onto a ramp [hoist].
2.Select neutral in transfer box and select 4th gear
in the main gearbox.
3.Run engine at 2000 rpm with the clutch/drive
engaged.
4.Observe joint between the main and transfer
boxes.
5.If oil leak is found establish if it is gear oil.
6.If so, the leak is originating from the transfer box.
7.Check the two inner (main/transfer) bolts are oil
tight, as these holes are tapped through into the
main transfer case.
8.Remove the transfer box to inspect the
mainshaft collar seal track condition, and the
front face of the transfer case for porosity.
See
Repair, LT230T Transfer Gearbox
9.If these areas require servicing, the transfer
gearbox input seal must also be renewed.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging the new seal
lip and ensure the seal is fitted flush with
the machined face. Also ensure the new
seal is not damaged when refitting the transfer
gearbox.
10.If red A.T.F type oil is seen leaking during the
workshop test, investigate the main gearbox for
cause of leak.
Detent plug or electrical switch leaks.
1.Detent plugs and electrical switches do not
usually leak. It must be noted that they fit into
open tapped holes in the transfer case and
therefore should be considered when looking for
the source of the leak.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The automatic transmission is specially tailored version of the ZF4 HP22, used by many manufacturer's of high
performance vehicles.
A three element torque converter delivers the power to a four speed epicyclic transmission. First, second and third
gears are reduction ratios but fourth is an overdrive gear for high speed cruising. A direct drive clutch, integral with
the torque converter operates to engage fourth gear.
The gear selector has seven positions as follows:
P = Park provides a mechanical lock on the output shaft.
R = Reverse gear.
N = Neutral.
D = Provides a 1st gear start and automatic shifts 1-2-3-4-3-2-1.
3 = Provides a 1st gear start and automatic shifts 1-2-3-2-1.
2 = Provides a 1st gear start and automatic shifts 1-2-1 or 3-2-1.
1 = Provides a 1st gear start with no up shifts, or 3-2-1.
All automatic shifts are automatically controlled by the valve block and an hydraulic governor driven by the output
shaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Power flow
1st gear D selected
With D selected 1st gear engaged, clutches 4 and 11 are operative. The front planet gear carrier of gear set 9 is
locked against the housing through freewheel 15 when the engine is pulling but freewheels when the vehicle is
coasting. Epicyclic gear set 10 rotates as a solid unit with the front planet gear carrier. In selector position 1 with
1st gear engaged, clutch 8 operates to prevent the loss of drive on the overrun through freewheel 15, to provide
engine braking.
2nd gear D selected
Clutches 4, 6, 7 and 11 are engaged. Freewheel 15 overruns, the hollow shaft with the sun wheel of epicyclic gear
set 9 is locked. Epicyclic gear set 10 also rotates as a solid unit.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 3rd gear D selected
Clutches 4, 5, 7 and 11 are engaged. Freewheel 15 and 16 are overrun. Epicyclic gear set 9 and 10 rotate as a
solid unit at a ratio of 1:1.
4th gear D selected
Clutches 4, 5, 7 and 12 are engaged. Freewheel 14, 15 and 16 are overrun. Epicyclic gear set 9 rotates as a solid
unit. The hollow shaft with the sun wheel of epicyclic gear set 10 is locked.
Above a predetermined road speed, clutch 2 locks the gearbox power input direct to the engine, by-passing the
torque converter.
