Frequently asked questions

What is the Selector Arm (FRC5478) and what does it do?
The Selector Arm FRC5478 transfers movement from the transfer gear lever to the high and low range selector mechanism inside the LT230 transfer box. It's the linkage that lets you shift between high and low ratio. Fitted to Land Rover Defender 1987-2006, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
Where does the selector arm sit in the LT230 transfer box?
The selector arm sits in the LT230 transfer box gearchange mechanism, linking the external transfer lever to the internal high/low range selector shaft. On these Land Rovers it's typically accessed from the transfer box top cover area during a gearchange overhaul.
Why would the LT230 selector arm need replacing?
The LT230 selector arm typically needs replacing when high/low range shifting becomes stiff, vague or jumps out of range. Wear at the pivot or contact faces on high-mileage Defender and Discovery transfer boxes can stop the arm moving the selector cleanly.
