TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE
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
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 41-15
High/low detect switch
A high/low detect switch is fitted in the front output housing and connects to earth when low is selected. The switch is
connected to the engine ECM, the SLABS ECU and the EAT ECU. The purpose of the switch is to enable selection
of the hill descent feature and to modify the engine fuelling and automatic gearbox gearshift maps stored within the
respective ECM's and ECU's.
Differential lock - Fitted to certain vehicles only
The differential lock selector housing is bolted to the top of the front output housing, the selector finger passes through
the housing, locating in a slot in the differential lock selector shaft. The differential lock selector shaft passes through
the selector fork which is located beneath a plate bolted to the side of the output housing. The selector fork engages
the dog clutch sleeve with the differential rear shaft when the splines of the sleeve and differential rear shaft are
aligned. A spring loaded detent ball fitted in the output housing locates in grooves in the shaft.
Functionality – Vehicles up to 03 model year only
The function of the differential lock used in previous applications is performed on this vehicle by the Electronic Traction
Control System. However, for the purposes of 2 wheel rolling road testing , the differential lock components are
retained. For all driving conditions however, the differential lock must be set in the unlocked position.
Up to 03 model year specification shown
The differential lock must only be engaged for 2 wheel rolling road testing as engagement of the lock disables the
traction control feature and inhibits correct operation of the electronic brake distribution and hill descent features. It
will also be necessary to disconnect the propeller shaft from the transfer box output shaft driving the axle whose
wheels are NOT on the rolling road. The lock may be engaged/disengaged by using a 10 mm open ended spanner
on the flats (arrowed) machined on the differential lock selector shaft.
Vehicles not fitted with a differential lock may be identified by there being no cover or selector shaft (arrowed) on the
front output housing.
WARNING: VEHICLES NOT FITTED WITH A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK MUST NOT BE TESTED ON A ROLLING
ROAD WHERE THE ROLLERS ARE DRIVEN BY THE VEHICLE.
TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 41-17
Lubrication
Lubrication is by splash, oil filler/level and drain plugs being located in the main casing.
Internal pressures caused by thermal expansion and contraction are avoided by the use of a plastic breather pipe
venting the interior of the box to atmosphere. The pipe is attached to the top of the high/low selector housing by a
banjo bolt and is then routed in a continuously rising path into the engine compartment where the open end is secured
by a clip attached to the engine cylinder block.
Oil temperature warning lamp switch
An oil temperature switch is fitted to V8 engine models. In the event of the transfer box oil approaching maximum
recommended working temperature of 145
°C (293°F), the switch will close and a warning lamp in the instrument pack
will be illuminated.
