LT230, 1.4 ratio. 13D serial number. Fitted with a new ashcroft input gear, input seal & input bearings and oil feed plate. It whines a bit but all works OK - £120 ono

Ashcroft 1.2 'Quiet' gearset for the LT230. Came out of my transfer box when I swapped back to 1.4 ratios. Ran very quietly with no whining. Slight clicking on the overrun though on my auto, which looked to be due to a slight nick on one of the teeth (barely visible to the naked eye). Probably wouldn't do it on a manual box though.. £120 ono

Collection preferred from either Oxford or near Stroud. Transfer box bits are heavy so postage would be a lot!

Defender 36 Spline steering wheel boss, from defender to standard Momo / Sparco 6 bolt pattern. Comes with pin for indicator cancel etc. SOLD

How does the 1.2 fit in?

Does it pull out like the 1.4 ratios? And just slot back in?
 
You'd need to drop the transfer box, split the case, swap the gears out and retension the bearings and put it back together...

It's not really rocket science but a bit more than a 10 minute job... :)
 
Noise is pretty subjective.... :)

I thought it was noisy, but I have a reasonably refined v8 County... Bit then I'm fussy and can hear the totally rebuilt 1.4 (with brand new gears) that replaced it whining.... If it was a diesel then you prob wouldnt notice it so much.... It wasnt knackered fairey overdrive levels of whine, bit you can tell its done a few miles. It seemed mechanically solid though, and we replaced the input gear, input bearings and fitted the oil catch plate, so it should last a while as is...
