The intermediate shaft has a nasty habit of wearing the case bore oval. That's why you see the leak from the o ring on the end of the shaft. In the UK, there's companies that sleeve the case with a steel insert which stops the leak happening again. Not sure about Canada though!
Hi. I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ. The front diff is on the driver side. I have an lt230 out of an discovery 2. I have to turn around it's axle in oder to have the output on the left side. Is that possible? The other method is to turn it around and use the PTO.
Hi Mike, Can you please tell me the size of the two particular bolts lengths the ones at the front of the transfer case 30mm or 35mm?. The ones that can damage the gears if they are long. Thanks from Malta
@@BritannicaRestorations Hi , im finally on the need of a tc replacement and want to ask you does the lt 230 fits manual transmission and automatic the same ? Do i need a specific one for manual?
About to make some up myself. Judging by the video (and measuring an LT230) I'd say they're 200mm long with maybe 40mm of M10 thread on the end. The output shaft on my LT77 protrudes 145mm from the read face of the gearbox. You'll want the shank of the bolt to be slightly longer than this (but not so long that you run out of space behind the TX box as you slide it back in the chassis).
Mike, If im to do the intermediate shaft seal in situ, is there enough length on the hi/low select cable and hand brake cables or do you need to disconnect them. Cars a disco 2 by the way Paul
Paul - I will be honest and say I have not done a D2 I do not think there is enough space to push back the box to gain access You may have to remove the mountings to drop it down - just be careful!
Your a wealth of information, my Disco 2 sends his thanks in the hope it's monkey owner doesn't do more harm than good. Cheers.
Excellent!

Yes I do them myself here
Hi Mike, Please can you explain how to replace the intermediate shaft O-ring on the earlier LT230R - it doesn't have the nut like on a LT230T
I have not seen an LT230R for years but I have the book if you want a copy email me

I think they are 35mm - 10mm shorter than the ones that go in from the back

Hi, another great video, The bolts you have cut for the pins to slide on can you tell me how long they are please :)

Mike, I have a request, you can give the symbol of the hydraulic pump screwed to LT230 best regards
The LT230 does not have a pump - do you meant the Power Take Off?
