DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 41-13
Description
General
The LT 230SE transfer box is mounted at the rear of the gearbox and transmits drive via high or low reduction ratios
to the front and rear axles via the propeller shafts. The high/low ratios are 1.211:1 and 3.32:1 respectively.
Transfer boxes fitted to this model have the prefixes 41D and 42D to the unit serial number. Prefix 41D denotes that
the unit is not fitted with interlock whilst 42D denotes that interlock is fitted.
Vehicles up to 03 model year – Whilst similar to LT230Q transfer boxes fitted to other models, the LT230SE transfer
box has certain engineering modifications incorporated which are as follows:
lUprated torque capacity
lModified front and rear output and cross shaft housings
lIntermediate gear bearing pre-load now controlled by a selective, non-collapsible spacer
lSpeedometer drive and driven gears not fitted for this application
lModified high/low sleeve
lModified front output flange and mud shield
lDifferential lock fitted to certain vehicles, but no longer driver operated
lFixed setting of differential lock warning lamp switch on vehicles fitted with differential lock
Vehicles from 03 model year – The LT230SE transfer box is as described above for vehicles up to 03 model year
with the following modifications:
The following items are introduced on vehicles from 03 model year
lRibs added to main casing to reduce operating noise
lBearing retaining nut on the differential carrier has patchlock added to the threads
lInterlock solenoid moved from main casing to selector lever assembly
lIntermediate gears modified with machined internal shoulder and bearing circlips deleted
The following items are introduced later in the 03 model year build programme and therefore may not appear on all
03 model year vehicles
lDriver operated differential lock (if fitted)
lHigh/Low selector shaft fitted with spring assist
lExisting differential lock switch replaced by new design switch.
lNew secondary differential lock switch installed in the front output housing
Construction
The transfer box comprises three main assemblies; the main casing, the front output housing and the rear output
housing. Both output housings and all cover plates are sealed to the main casing by sealant; mud and water ingress
being prevented by mud shields located on the output flanges.
Main casing
The main casing carries the mainshaft input gear, the intermediate gears and the differential, together with the high/
low range gears, selector shaft and fork. The front and rear output housings are bolted to either side of the main
casing.
Transmission neutral sensor
A transmission neutral sensor is fitted on automatic gearbox vehicles for North America and Japan. The sensor is
connected to the BCU and is normally in the open position. The sensor provides an earth path for the BCU which then
interprets the signal and activates an audible warning generated by the IDM if neutral is selected on the transfer box
when the ignition is on.
TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE
41-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Transfer box interlock solenoid - Automatic gearbox vehicles
An interlock solenoid is fitted for North America and Japan. The solenoid is located on the top of the transfer box main
casing on vehicles up to 03 model year or on the selector lever assembly on vehicles from 03 model year. The
solenoid is connected to the transfer box relay which, in turn, is controlled by the IDM. The purpose of the solenoid is
to prevent neutral being selected on the transfer box when the ignition key is removed, thereby locking the box in
either high or low ratio.
Mainshaft input gear
The gearbox output shaft is splined into the mainshaft input gear which is supported by taper roller bearings.
Input gear bearing pre-load is achieved by the use of a selective shim located in the bearing housing.
Intermediate gears
The intermediate gear cluster is supported by the taper roller bearings located at each end of the cluster and runs on
the intermediate shaft which, in turn, is supported at the front and rear by the main casing.
A selective spacer, positioned between the gears, pre-loads the intermediate gear bearings when the intermediate
shaft nut is tightened sufficiently to achieve the correct 'torque to turn' of the intermediate gears.
On vehicles from 03 model year, the circlips used to retain the bearings in the intermediate gear are deleted. The bore
of the intermediate gear is machined with a shoulder at each end to locate the bearings.
Differential assembly
The differential assembly is supported at the front and rear by taper roller bearings, the front bearing outer track is
located in the front output housing and the rear bearing outer track is located in the main casing by the rear output
housing. Bearing pre-load is achieved by means of a selective shim located in the front output housing.
The differential rear shaft carries the low range gear, high/low selector sleeve and hub, high range gear and bush and
the differential rear bearing; these components being secured to the shaft by a special staked nut.
The differential assembly comprises front and rear half carriers with integral shafts and with sun and planet gears
mounted on cross shafts within the half carriers. Dished, non-selective thrust washers control the engagement of the
planet gears with the sun gears, whilst selective thrust washers are used to control engagement of the sun gears and
'torque to turn' of the differential. The differential carrier halves are bolted together, a retaining ring providing positive
location of the cross shafts.
The high/low selector shaft and fork are located at the side of the differential, movement of the shaft, fork and selector
sleeve being controlled by the high/low selector finger. A spring loaded detent ball fitted in the main casing, locates
in grooves in the shaft.
On vehicles from 03 model year, the selector fork is modified and fitted with a spring assistor and clips to reduce the
effort required to move the selector lever.
Front output housing
The front output housing carries the front output shaft and flange, high/low cross shaft, housing and selector and on
certain vehicles, the differential lock selector shaft and fork.
The front output shaft is supported in the housing by a single bearing and is splined into the differential front sun gear.
High/low selector
The high/low cross shaft is located in a housing bolted to the top of the output housing and is connected to the high/
low selector finger which locates in a slot in the selector shaft.
