ZF4HP22 tailend replacment for LT230

griffman said:

Yes but there are two types of input bearing in the LT230 - if you have the later type you will need the correct gearbox output shaft which is 45 quid from Ashcroft - this has a 17mm nut on the end which you just undo and swap them.

Connect your gearbox and transfer box together - If it slides home then your bearing and shaft match - if it gets stuck 20mm from home you need to swap the shaft for the other type.

Do not rely on Transfer casing numbers - many early ones have been upgraded with the later input bearing - Ashcroft for instance fit it as standard now.

Also there is a shim behind adapter shaft-don't let it fall out if I remember it does governor

I would like to fit a lt230 to a p38 zf, is it as simple as changing the tailend and using FTC5090 straight on the output shaft to fit the LT230 on?

After some searching it looks like it is to me, what tailends can be used; D1, D2 and RRC?

thanks

sorry James - you are wrong - from 1998-on the input bearing was cross-drilled and the output shaft from the later gearboxes was changed to fit it.

The later type is now used by most LT230 rebuilders because it runs much cooler.

So if you have coupling problems this is generally why.

If you don't believe me - ask Mr Dave Ashcroft - was him that told me when my rebuilt transfer box wouldn't couple up - so I phoned him - ''look in the f#####g box Victor - there is a new output shaft for your gearbox''
